What is industrialization?

Industrialization is when people start making things faster and in bigger amounts using machines instead of just their hands.

Imagine you're at a bakery. At first, one person bakes all the bread by hand, it takes time, and not too many loaves come out each day. But then, the bakery gets a big oven and some mixing machines. Now, more people can work together, and they can make hundreds of loaves at once! That’s like industrialization, using tools and factories to make more things faster.

Before industrialization, most people worked on farms or made things by hand in small groups. But with industrialization, big factories were built where lots of people used machines to make products like toys, clothes, and cars.

It’s like turning a small lemonade stand into a huge juice factory, more people, more tools, and way more lemonade!
