Summary: The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century. Populations of cities grew rapidly in this cultural shift, which marked the change from mainly agricultural economies to machine-based manufacturing. The most important changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution were the inventions of machines to take the place of human labour, the use of steam and other kinds of power, and the introduction of factories.
