The migration patterns of the Industrial Revolution were distinct from other historical periods due to the large-scale movement of people away from rural areas and into cities and towns. This shift was driven by the promise of better wages and more job opportunities in industrialized areas. People migrated not only within their countries but also across international borders, resulting in a more globalized population. This period also saw a dramatic increase in immigration to countries with strong industrial economies, such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
