Industrial Revolution

In modern history the term Industrial Revolution refers to the process of societies transitioning from primarily relying on agriculture to more industrialized economies based on large-scale manufacturing.  The process of Industrialization began in Britain in the mid-1800's, and then spread to continental Europe, North America, Japan and gradually to other countries of the world.  

Industrialization destroys the ability for humans to live sustainably on Earth because products and services are not tied to what is necessary for people to survive on the planet long-term and allows populations to grow uncontrollably. This has resulted in even more people and has eventually led to today’s overpopulation of the world. As the world’s population gets larger the increase in the number of people worldwide grows faster.  By 1999, the world’s human population reached 6 billion, and by 2025 the human population on Earth has reach 8 billion.

The drawing below illustrates how Earth's human population gradually grew until a sharp increase of population started to occur into the Modern Age.
