Why did the industrial Revolution happen and why did it happen in Britain
The industrial Revolution changed the world. Many new technologies and ideas were made and thought of. It was life changing to all the people in the time and also to the country. It has also benefitted everyone who lived after But why did it happen and why did it happen in Britain. In this essay I will be explaining Why
One reason for the industrial Revolution happening in Britain is because of Imperial power. Britain had the strongest navy at this time which could be used to protect trade routes. This then lead onto people selling and trading aboard. People sold new technologies, fabrics and more around the world.This bought in spices from India ,tea leaves from China and t#######from America. At this moment in time the French thought you could only get more wealth through battling and conquering while Britain knew that you could extract coal and sell it around the world.
Another key element of why the industrial Revolution happened is because is new technologies. New technologies, such as the Newcomen steam engine, helped life, travel and many companies. Steam pumps pumped out the water from mines so people could mine deeper than before. Steam engines also helped travel as the steam engine was adapted to make steam trains. Businesses invested into new technologies which increased the business’s production. Everyday items such as buttons and weighing scales were made during this time.
Natural resources is one of the main reasons the industrial Revolution happened in Britain as Britain had a lot of coal which was easy to access as the seams were near the surface. Coal powered the industrial Revolution. Coal was the main source of energy as it produced 3 times more energy than wood. Coal was used in fires, steam engines and by blacksmiths. The uk also had iron which was used by many people to build bridges, steam engines and more.
Another reason is because of new ideas. Without ideas no new technologies would of been made. The government encouraged to people have new ideas and also encouraged the making of new businesses. People also talked to each other about their ideas. Societies were made where scientists talked and shared their thoughts. One of these societies was the lunar society which was founded in 1760’s. During this time, which was known as the age of reasoning, the toilet was made.
To conclude the main reason the industrial Revolution happened in Britain is because of new idea. This is the most important reason as people needed to have the ideas to do make everything. Without ideas there would be no new technologies, no one would of thought to make paved roads and the toilet wouldn't of been made |
