What are two advantages great Britain had that were necessary for industrialization?

Answer 1

Industrialization began with the steam engine, which was needed to pump water out of flooded coal mines. It is an accident of history that Britain happened to run into this particular problem of flooding in coal mines, and came up with this particular solution. But once steam engines came into use, people started to find other uses for them as well, and industrialization was underway.

Answer 2

Because it invented steam power and had all the raw materials such as coal and iron to produce manufactured goods.

It also had in place a large navy to trade with the rest of the world and the first railways and a canal system to distribute the products.They discovered that it was more cost-effective and more productive to hire people (including children) to work in factories for very, very low wages.... instead of housing, feeding, and transporting slaves for the slave's entire life.

Answer 3

Britain was so rightly named the 'workshop of the world' after Queen Victoia opened the Great Exhibition on the 8th of may in 1851.This in turn turned into an amazing vast empire that ruled out other small time countries.Britain was becoming more and more powerful. So answering your question Britain was first because we had the technology and cheap labout to do it all before any other country. Hope i helped, if not sorry its all i know so far.Im doing it in history at the moment im 13

Answer 4

Britain was the first industrialize because they had a good Atlantic economy, they had many rivers and water ways, resources such as coal and iron, there was no tariffs in GB and they had a good Central bank. Also inventions such as the flying shuttle, spinning jenny, and the use of steam power helped in its industrialization. these inventions came about because of the cottage industry or the putting out system where individual families worked in their homes in rural areas making textiles. This was in order to avoid the restricting power of the guilds.

Answer 5

With an abundant supply of coal and many British controlled countries in which Britain could import essential supplies from made it possible for Britain to Industrialize.

Raw materials and a large workforce

Answer 6

I think its because England is one of the first countries to have more colonies in Africa and other parts of the world,as such they she was able to acquire raw materials from her colonies,then process these raw items to valuable products which she once again sold to her colonies.Due to a greater number of her colonies,her market was simply boosted thus making it easier for England to have big industries

Answer 7

Coal deposits, and a developed financial system to fund industrial ventures.

because the industrialization revolution started in Britain and continued to accelerate rapidly there.
