Revolution is not always about political change. It is a drastic change in any realm that had a profound impact. The late 18th and early 19th century were such times when Britain saw great innovations in agriculture, manufacturing and transportation. It surely impacted the rest of the world as well. This period is known as the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution began as an economic and social revolution that had a worldwide influence. The changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution spread throughout Europe, North America, and eventually the other parts of the world.
Innovations like the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and the power loom were products of this era. The textile industry underwent great changes; production became faster, required less time and far less human labour. In addition to textiles, the British iron industry also adopted new innovations. This really helped Britain to become a world superpower.
