Industrial Revolution
THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
During certain periods in history, innovations in technology have grown at such a rapid pace that they have produced what have become known as industrial revolutions. The term INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION originally referred to the developments that transformed Great Britain, between 1750 and 1830, from a largely rural population making a living almost entirely from agriculture to a town-centered society engaged increasingly in factory manufacture. Other European nations underwent the same process soon thereafter, followed by others during the 19th century, and still others (such as Russia and Japan) in the the first half of the 20th century. In some countries this transformation is only now taking place or still lies in the future.
