The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from
about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand
production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes,
improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power , the development of
machines tools and the rise of the factory system. It also included the change from wood and other
fuel to cole. Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment,
value of output and capital invested; the textile industry was also the first to use modern production
methods.
The Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in history; almost every aspect of daily life was
influenced in some way. In particular, average income and population began to exhibit
unprecedented sustained growth. Some economists say that the major impact of the Industrial
Revolution was that the standar of living for the general population began to increase consistently
for the first time in history, although others have said that it did not begin to meaningfully improve
until the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The Industrial Revolution began in the United Kingdom and most of the important technological
innovations were British. Mechanized textile production spread to continental Europe in the early
19th century, with important centers in France. A major iron making center developed in Belgium.
Since then industrialisation has spread throughout the world. The precise start and end of the
Industrial Revolution is still debated among historians.
