The Industrial Revolution was marked by several pivotal events that transformed societies. It began in the late 18th century with the invention of the steam engine by James Watt, which powered factories, trains, and ships. The textile industry was revolutionized by machines like the spinning jenny and power loom, greatly increasing production. The Bessemer process allowed for mass production of steel, boosting industries like railroads and construction. The development of railways improved transportation and connected markets, facilitating trade and migration. Urbanization surged as people moved to cities for factory work, creating both growth and challenges like overcrowding. The invention of the telegraph and telephone transformed communication. The rise of labor unions and factory laws were responses to poor working conditions, leading to lasting social reforms. These events collectively reshaped economies, societies, and daily life, marking the shift from agrarian to industrialized nations.
