The document discusses the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain. It describes how the Enclosure Movement of the 1700s fenced off commonly held lands, pushing peasants into towns to work in factories. This supplied labor for the new industrial system. Advances like the spinning jenny, steam engine, and improvements to iron production and railroads drove industrialization. The spread of industrialization to other parts of Europe and America relied on factors like government support, railway infrastructure, and population shifts from farms to cities. The social impacts included famine, immigration, and early socialist ideas proposing more equitable distribution of wealth.
