The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution, spanning from the 1750s to the present, brought profound changes to society through innovations by key figures like Thomas Newcomen, James Watt, and Eli Whitney. Their inventions, such as the steam engine and interchangeable parts, revolutionized manufacturing and transportation. Notable contributions like the Bessemer Converter allowed for the mass production of steel, while Henry Ford's assembly line streamlined production processes. This transformative period not only made goods cheaper and accessible but also marked a significant evolution in labor specialization and women’s rights.
