The term “Industriell revolusjon,” or “Industrial Revolution” in English, refers to a period of significant economic, technological, and social change that began in the late 18th century and continued into the 19th century. It marked the transition from agrarian economies, which were primarily based on agriculture and handicrafts, to industrialized economies characterized by mechanized manufacturing and factory systems.
This revolution originated in Great Britain and spread to other parts of the world, leading to profound shifts in production methods, labor organization, and overall societal structures. Key features of the Industrial Revolution included the introduction of steam power, the development of machinery, the emergence of new industries (such as textiles and iron), and significant advances in transportation (like the railroad and steamships).
The Industrial Revolution also resulted in urbanization, as large numbers of people moved to cities in search of work in factories. It had far-reaching effects on social classes, as a new industrial working class emerged, alongside a capital-owning bourgeoisie. Additionally, the period saw significant changes in living conditions, labor rights, and eventually led to various social and political movements advocating for reforms. Overall, the Industrial Revolution was a crucial turning point in human history, shaping the modern industrialized world.
