The Birth of Industry
Our journey takes us back to the late 18th century in Britain, where the Industrial Revolution first began.

Steam engines, textile mills, and iron smelting were revolutionizing the way goods were produced.
Innovations that Changed the World
During this era, inventions like the spinning jenny, steam engine, and power loom paved the way for increased productivity and efficiency. Factories emerged, urban centers grew, and a new social order unfolded as people migrated from rural areas to cities in search of employment.
The Impact on Society
The Industrial Revolution brought both prosperity and challenges. While it led to economic growth and technological advancements, it also brought about harsh working conditions, child labor, and widening wealth gaps.
