The Industrial Revolution
The invention of the steam engine in the 18th century revolutionized the way products were made. Steam engines were used to power large machines. These machines could make many products very quickly.
Factories were built to house the large and noisy machines. This started a time of great economic and
technological development, known as the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain. Factories replaced small craftsmen’s workshops. People left their farms in the country for factory jobs in the cities. The growing city populations needed better transport, improved health services and more food. These needs inspired new inventions like vaccines and more efficient farming equipment. This led to more and more jobs in the cities, and fewer people in the countryside.
By the early 20th century, the Industrial Revolution had spread to other countries.
