Question

how rapid was the process of industrialisation? does industrialisation means only growth of industry?

Answer 1

Industrialization is the process by which an economy is transformed from primarily agricultural to one based on the manufacturing of goods. Individual manual labor is often replaced by mechanized mass production, and craftsmen are replaced by assembly lines

Answer 2

The process of industrialization was not very rapid, it stretched over a century. The early industrial production for the international market was carried on from the house holds and there was no concept of factory production. The change came up slowly with the invention of several machines that increased the efficiency of the labourers. We notice that that thought the first cotton industry was set up in London in the 1730s, industrialization as a process took up pace from the late18th century. In this period, the merchants had had to bridge the gap between the cities an the countryside, new machines had to be produced, transportation system bettered. These processes took time to be completed and thus industrialization also took a century to actually to gain its pace. industrialisation does not just mean growthof factory industries.
