WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Before the Industrial Revolution, people made what they needed on their farms by hand. That changed when people invented machines to make products much faster and easier than they could be made by hand. People working at those machines made money, and bought items like food and clothing instead of making them by hand.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Industrial Revolution shifted from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy where products were no longer made solely by hand but by machines. This led to increased production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods, improved wages, and migration from rural areas to urban areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is called the first Industrial Revolution lasted from the mid-18th century to about 1830 and was mostly confined to Britain. The second Industrial Revolution lasted from the mid-19th century until the early 20th century and took place in Britain, continental Europe, North America, and Japan.

Detailed explanation-4: -Goods that had once been painstakingly crafted by hand started to be produced in mass quantities by machines in factories, thanks to the introduction of new machines and techniques in textiles, iron making and other industries.

Detailed explanation-5: -Invented by James Hargreaves in 1764, the spinning jenny was one of the innovations that started the revolution.
