The Industrial Revolution spread from the UK to many other countries in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It transformed economies from agriculture-based to industry-based and led to rapid urbanization. New technologies improved transportation and manufacturing. The revolution increased production but also led to issues like child labor and poor working conditions. It created a new social class of urban workers and changed societies in numerous ways.
