Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution or First Industrial Revolution is the process of economic, social and technological transformation that began in the second half of the 18th century in the Kingdom of Great Britain, which extended a few decades later to a large part of Western Europe and Anglo-Saxon America, and which ended between 1820 and 1840. During this period the greatest set of economic, technological and social transformations in the history of mankind was experienced since the Neolithic, which saw the transition from a rural economy based fundamentally on agriculture and trade to a Economy of urban, industrialized and mechanized character.

The invention of the steam engine was one of the most important innovations of the Industrial Revolution. It made possible improvements in the work of the metal based on the use of coke instead of charcoal. In the eighteenth century the textile industry took advantage of the power of water for the operation of some machines. These industries became the model of organization of human work in factories.

In addition to the innovation of the machinery, the assembly line (Fordism) contributed a lot in the efficiency of the factories.

• Agricultural revolution: progressive increase in production thanks to the investment of the owners in new techniques and farming systems, in addition to the improvement of the use of fertilizers.

• The development of commercial capital: The machines were applied to transport and communication initiating a huge transformation. Now the relations between employers and workers are solely labor and in order to obtain benefits.

• Demographic-social changes: the modernization of agriculture allowed a demographic growth due to the improvement of food. There were also advances in medicine and hygiene, hence the population grew. There was also a migration from the countryside to the city because the occupation in agricultural work fell while the demand for work in the cities increased.
