When did industrialization begin?

Industrialization refers to the development process in which industrial production activities gain a dominant position in the national economy of a country or region. Industrialization was originally just a spontaneous social phenomenon, which began in Britain in the 1960s. This industrial production activity characterized by large-scale machine production challenges the original production mode and narrow local market, and the old production mode can no longer meet the growing market capacity demand. At the same time, capital accumulation and the development of science and technology laid the foundation for the emergence of industrialization. Industrialization is a long process of development. In its early days, some advanced industrialized countries urgently demanded to break the original social labor organization system in order to realize the free flow of population and provide sufficient and cheap labor. It took about 100 years. Since the 20th century, especially after the Second World War, industrialization has become the goal of economic development in all countries in the world. In different stages of industrialization, the spatial activity scope of industrial production has obvious tendency. At the beginning, industrial production activities are often confined to a certain geographical range (point distribution), and with the improvement of traffic conditions, they spread outward in a linear or belt shape. Ultimately achieve a relatively balanced distribution of a country or region. The development of industrialization has both positive and negative effects on the progress of human society. With large-scale industrialization, environmental pollution such as air, sea and land water bodies is becoming more and more serious, a large amount of land is occupied, and soil erosion and desertification are intensified. It has caused great damage to society, nature and ecology, and even endangered the survival of mankind, forcing countries to limit and transform the development of industrialization.
