The document outlines the causes and progression of the Industrial Revolution, beginning with the Agricultural Revolution which introduced improved farming technologies requiring fewer laborers. This led to population growth and a surplus workforce that migrated to cities, driving demand for goods. Concurrently, the Energy Revolution saw new power sources like water wheels and steam engines fuel by coal, enabling faster production of goods through machines. Together these factors precipitated the Industrial Revolution, marking a shift to mechanized production that increased cities' economic significance.
