    The Industrial Revolution is the term used for the period between 18th and 19th centuries when

    predominantly rural and agricultural areas in Europe and America became urban and industrialized. The
    rapid changes were brought about by the development of machines and the discovery of other sources
    of power which resulted to the construction of factories and mass production. The period also marked
    development when it came to transportation, communication and commerce. The Industrial Revolution
    is divided into two parts/phases: the First Industrial Revolution [about 1760 – between 1820 and 1840]
    and the Second Industrial Revolution [1870-1914].

     The Industrial Revolution occurred in the last part of the 18th century. It began in Great
    Britain.
     This revolution was an economic one, and it changed the way the world produced goods.
     The population went from being agricultural to industrial. This meant people moved off
    of the farms and out of the country. There were huge numbers of people that moved into
    cities. Many people were forced to move to the cities to look for work. They ended up
    living in cities that could not support them.
     During this time, there were also many new advancements in technology. The assembly
    line was one of the biggest inventions. Henry Ford is credited with this invention.
     Some of the biggest advancements were in steam power. New fuels such as coal and
    petroleum, were used in these new steam engines. This revolutionized many industries
    including textiles and manufacturing.
     Another invention was called the telegraph. This made communicating across the ocean
    easier and much faster. Messages could be sent and received in minutes and delivered the
    same day. Writing a letter and sending it overseas could take weeks.
     The Industrial Revolution was not a good revolution for the earth. Industry was releasing
    huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and waste into the waterways and
    soil. Pollution by nuclear waste, pesticides and other chemicals are also the result of the
    Industrial Revolution.
     Many natural resources were being used up at an alarming rate.
     Advances in farming resulted in an increased supply of food and raw materials. The
    changes in industry and new technology resulted in increased production of thousands of
    goods. Companies were more efficient and earned bigger profits.
     The year 1760, is generally accepted as the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. In
    reality, the revolution began more than two centuries before this date. The late 18th
    century and the early l9th century brought out the ideas and discoveries of those who had
    lived a long time before like Galileo, Bacon, Descartes and others.
     The term Industrial Revolution was popularized by English historian Arnold Toynbee
    though he wasn’t the first one to use it [French writers were the first ones to use the
    term]. He used it to describe the economic development Britain underwent between 1760
    and 1840.
