The Industrial Revolution in Europe

The Industrial Revolution, which began in the late 18th century, was a transformative period characterized by the shift from agrarian economies to industrialized manufacturing. This era saw the invention of machinery, the rise of factories, and significant advancements in technology and transportation, such as the steam engine.

The Industrial Revolution not only changed how goods were produced but also had profound social impacts, including urbanization, changes in labor practices, and the rise of a new social class of industrial workers.
