Why did the industrial revolution start first in certain?
Competition between countries eventually led to industrialization. Many realized like Britian that manufacturing and heavy labor can lead to more wealth accumulating within the country. The monarchs also encouraged that and industrialization eventually led to imperialism. Europe has been through many difficult changes. They came from the Agricultural Revolution, where people found ways to make more food because they were starving to the Industrial Revolution where inventions and intellect start spreading in order to create more faster, easier ways to make money. This soon led to poor working conditions which also led to the Bacteria Revolution, where Listerine found hand soap and Pastuer did Pastuerization in milk. The top countries that went into industrialization was Britain AND Germany. They were both competing and at that time, unification of Germany (use to be Prussia & Austria) was going through process.
