The Industrial Revolution was a period during the 18th and 19th centuries where major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation had a profound effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions of the times. The main features of the Industrial Revolution were the use of new sources of power, such as steam engines and the development of new manufacturing processes, such as the Bessemer process and the development of new technologies, such as the telegraph and the locomotive. The Industrial Revolution led to a rapid increase in production and a rise in the standard of living for many people, but it also led to the growth of large cities with large populations of workers in often dangerous and unhealthy working conditions.
