What was used before the steam engine?
Sources of power before steam were: 1) People; human muscle power did most of the world's work for most of history. 2) Animals: horses, or more usually oxen, mules, donkeys. Even a donkey can power a mill if you harness it to a pole attached to a vertical rotating shaft and drive the donkey round and round in a circle all dy. 3) The wind - windmills are now coming back in a big way! and don't forget sailing ships. sailing ships were still used for trade up to the first half of the 20th century. 4) The strongest sort of power - water. Remember that a watermill did not necessarily just grind corn; water power can drive any sort of machinery, and indeed began the Industrial Revolution, which steam merely amplified.
Conditions of England in 1780's?
The exciting first half of the Industrial Revolution, with steam-power, canal transport and intensive farming. The factories were starting to displace cottage-crafts, and the production line was on its way. The nation was suffering humiliation by the American colonists. Intellectuals were in favour of the French Revolution. (They would learn their mistake.) A good time for connoisseurs of painting, silverware and furniture.
What are three reasons why England was the first to industrialize?
England alone did not become the first industrialized nation although Great Britain of which it is part did. The first of the British nations where more than 50% of the population worked in industry was actually thought to be Wales. Wales had a very small population before industrialization which grew dramatically during due to the coal in the South.Before industrialization (about 1780 onwards) Britain was a - the even the - leading trading country of the time; it was capitalist (despite some latter-day 'feudal' flummery) and it had the main natural resources required at the time - coal and iron ore. Britain was also free from internal customs barriers and constituted a large and relatively domestic market. Britain also had the advantage of being in Western Europe, on the Atlantic seaboard.Britain has a long intended coast line. intended coast line means the sea coast which deeply penetrated into the land. So it was easy for them to go to other places, to conquer places and easy for them to get raw materials from other continents like Asia and Africa.
