 * 1) 2 The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain. List six factors that help to explain why the Industrial Revolution began there. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the 1780s. There were several reasons why this dynamic process started there. First, agricultural practices in the eighteenth century had changed. More people could be fed at lower prices with less labor. Now even ordinary British families had money to buy manufactured goods. Second, with more abundant food supplies, the population grew. This increase created a large labor force to work in the new factories in Britain. Third, Britain had money to invest in the new industrial machines and factories. This money is called capital. Many British people were very wealthy and were interested in finding new business opportunities and new ways to make profits. These people are called entrepreneurs. Fourth, natural resources, such as coal and iron ore, were plentiful in Britain. Fifth, Britain had a free society that did not place many regulations on trade. Finally, Britain had a huge empire that gave the British many markets for their goods


 * 1) 3 How did factories create a new labor system? By the mid-nineteenth century, Great Britain had become the world’s first and richest industrial nation. It produced one-half of the world’s coal and manufactured goods. In 1853, American admiral Perry demanded that Japan trade with the United States. Japan decided it must copy western technology to become a strong nation. However, these governments were very active in encouraging the develop- ment of industrialization. An Industrial Revolution also occurred in the new nation of the United States. In 1800, six out of every seven American workers were farmers. By 1860, only 50 percent of American workers were farmers.
