In the 1900's there were many factories and Britain had many of these. There were lots of steam engines. Also, there was a larger opportunity for people to be employed because of jobs going on in factories. Britain had less rural area because it was covered by factories.
the advances in global history are the priting press, the telescope, agriculture, irrigation system, the astrolabe, the microscope, steam power, muclear power and many more.
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.
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.
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.
Steam power allowed factories to move out of the countryside.
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
Machines in factories.
A water-powered factory did not create pollution and could only operate near water, but a steam-powered factory did create pollution and could operate anywhere on land
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
Steam engines were primarily made in industrialized countries during the 18th and 19th centuries, with significant production in Britain, where the technology was first developed. Key manufacturing centers included Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow. Additionally, steam engines were produced in other countries like the United States, Germany, and France as the technology spread globally. Factories and workshops dedicated to steam engine production emerged as the demand for mechanized power grew.

Steam power is used today as a form of power for many things. Some of these include powering factories and mills.
