Question #N1142

One of the most common misunderstandings about the Industrial Revolution is that it only affected Europe. While the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, it quickly spread throughout the world, affecting economies and societies in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. It’s important to remember that the Industrial Revolution wasn’t merely an economic phenomenon, but a social and cultural one as well, and that its effects are still felt today. The Industrial Revolution transformed the way people lived, worked, and interacted with each other, and these transformations continue to shape the world we live in today.
