Introduction
The Industrial Revolution was a profound and
transformative period in human history that began in the
late 18th century and extended into the 19th century. It
marked a significant shift from agrarian and handcraft-
based economies to industrial and mechanized ones. This
period of rapid industrialization brought about profound
changes in almost every aspect of society, including the
economy, technology, social structure, and culture.

The Industrial Revolution laid the foundation for the

degradation. It remains a critical period in history to
