when do historians date the start of the industrial revolution?
1870
industrial revolution





























the industrial revolution, now also known as the first industrial revolution, was the transition to new manufacturing processes in europe and the united states, in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. this transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, the increasing use of steam power and water power, the development of machine tools and the rise of the mechanized factory system. the industrial revolution also led to an unprecedented rise in the rate of population growth.
industrial revolution
the industrial revolution marks a major turning point in history; almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way. in particular, average income and population began to exhibit unprecedented sustained growth. some economists say that the major impact of the industrial revolution was that the standard of living for the general population began to increase consistently for the first time in history, although others have said that it did not begin to meaningfully improve until the late 19th and 20th centuries. the precise start and end of the industrial revolution is still debated among historians, as is the pace of economic and social changes. gdp per capita was broadly stable before the industrial revolution and the emergence of the modern capitalist economy, while the industrial revolution began an era of per-capita economic growth in capitalist economies. economic historians are in agreement that the onset of the industrial revolution is the most important event in the history of humanity since the domestication of animals, plants and fire.
