    The document discusses the Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain in the 18th century and transformed the economy from agriculture and handicraft to industry and machine manufacturing. Britain was well-suited for the revolution due to inventions like the spinning machine, deposits of coal and iron, political stability, its colonial power, and shipping routes. The revolution brought developments like powered machinery, factories, mass production, consumerism, and improved transportation and communication. It negatively impacted the environment, population, child labor, and living conditions for the poor. While some argue it never truly ended, it was replaced by the Technological Revolution.
