The year 1760 is often marked as the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, although the process unfolded over several decades. This period saw a monumental transformation in industries, particularly textiles, as new technologies like the spinning jenny and steam engine revolutionized production methods. The shift from agrarian economies to industrialized cities led to vast changes in labor, society, and economic structures, promoting urbanization and altering living conditions. This revolution laid the foundation for modern industrial society and had far-reaching effects on global economies and social dynamics.
