Causes Of Industrial Revolution

Industrial revolution is one of the most important historical phenomena in human beings ' history. It is alleged first happened in Britain in around 1700s to 1800s and then spreaded throughout the world. This paper is going to discuss the main origins, consequences of industrial revolution in Europe, how agriculture and economy aid to the emergence of industrial revolution. Besides that, this paper also applies three concepts of history including ecumenical, world and gloabal history in the rise and spread of industrial revolution. There are four key origins that lead to industrial revolution in Europe. The first main origin is large amount of materials from either Europe itself or its colonies in the Americas and India.

In an industrial economy, proportion of agricultural contribution did not dominate in the total production 's as before; therefore, there was a requirement in mobilizing and redeploying labor from agricultural to non-agricultural works (Eric 1996, 64). Many people changed their work from agricultural to non-agricultural tasks moved to industrial regions and lead to mass migrations within a country.
