The leader of the industrial revolution was England. English merchants and business people took advantage of the power that England had all over the world. The British empire controlled a vast overseas colonial empire and had staked out markets all over the Americas and in Europe as well.English merchants possessed the capital from which to finance new ideas that made factories and other types of manufacturing easier through various inventions. Raw materials, such as cotton, could be utilized in new textile mills and the products from that material, as one example, were sold around the world.
