What Caused the Industrial Revolution
was in a ripe time to begin the Industrial Revolution.
Historians rivals this point of view by saying that the transportation was more important because it was needed to move the materials to one place to the next. Some says that extracting the materials (such as coal) can be difficult (as stated in ŌHow Things Work) for the workers.
Workers are necessary for the increase of possible jobs (e.g. Due to the invention of trains, drivers are needed) and to extract materials. The growing population also meant that different areas of the economy could be further explored and researched, therefore increasing the efficiency of different aspects of the economy.
Often written in books, diseases (e.g. cholera) are being spread by closely populated cities and this caused people to panic and to move to a British colony somewhere away from England, or sometimes cause a large number of people to die because of the plague.
Food and new ideas and essential to the economy because food is the fuel for the population and new ideas improved agriculture, transportation, etc. In a negative point of view, transportation is needed to move food to different places of the country and failures to ideas could cause economical disasters.
Often, when there is a poor amount/quality of crops, the poorer people in England canÕt afford the higher prices and sometimes this could lead to a rebellion. Also, when new ideas donÕt work, a lot of money from the government is wasted.
As there are many different points of views, it is hard to decide whether my suggestion was correct. I am definite that trade influenced many parts of the economy and helped the process of the Industrial Revolution along.
