The First Industrial Revolution was characterized by the mechanization of production processes. Key innovations included the steam engine, which powered factories and transportation, and the development of textile machinery. These advancements led to the growth of factories, urbanization, and changes in labor systems. The First Industrial Revolution began in Britain and gradually spread to other parts of Europe and North America. The Second Industrial Revolution brought forth innovations like electricity, the telephone, and the internal combustion engine. Mass production techniques, including assembly lines, emerged, leading to increased productivity and the rise of large-scale industries.
