Sanayi Devrimi, or the Industrial Revolution, was a period of significant economic and technological change that began in the late 18th century. It marked the transition from agrarian economies to industrialized ones, primarily in Britain. Key innovations included the steam engine, mechanized textile production, and the use of coal, which transformed manufacturing processes and increased productivity. This revolution led to urbanization, as people moved to cities for work in factories. It also resulted in changes in social structures, with the rise of a new industrial working class. The effects of the Sanayi Devrimi were felt worldwide, influencing global trade and economic systems.
