WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Industrial Revolution was the transition from creating goods by hand to using machines. Its start and end are widely debated by scholars, but the period generally spanned from about 1760 to 1840.

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: -An icon of the Industrial Revolution broke onto the scene in the early 1700s, when Thomas Newcomen designed the prototype for the first modern steam engine. Called the “atmospheric steam engine, ” Newcomen’s invention was originally applied to power the machines used to pump water out of mine shafts.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
