Which European country became the second country to be industrilzed?

Answer 1

Technically the second country to be industrialized was Germany, although at the time it was not one political unit yet. The Ruhr Valley in Westphalia was called the "second Britain" in reference to the fact that it was the second part of Europe to be industrialized after Great Britain. So in truth, Westphalia was the second country. In terms of still-extant political entities, Belgium was second by technicality via the region of Wallonia.
