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 spread a few decades later to a large part of Western Europe and Anglo-Saxon America, and that concluded between 1820 and 1840. During this period the greatest set of economic, technological and social transformations of the history of mankind was experienced since the Neolithic, which saw the transition from a rural economy based fundamentally on agriculture and commerce to an urban economy, industrialized and mechanized.

The Industrial Revolution marks a turning point in history, modifying and influencing all aspects of daily life in one way or another. Both agricultural production and the nascent industry multiplied while production time decreased. After 1800, wealth and income per capita multiplied as it had never done in history, because until then GDP per capita had remained practically stagnant for centuries.
