The «Industrial revolution», which started in Great Britain and from there spread to other European Nations and the United States, was an important turning point in economic and social history. The conditions that determined the rise and development of the process of industrialisation varied from country to country other the period of time concerned, from mid Eighteenth to mid Nineteenth century. Knowledge of these events and of their repercussions both on the distribution of resources and on the power relationships between the different regions of the globe, is essential to understand the origins of the modern world.
