Where did the industrial revolution begin?

It began with the discovery of coal and the implementation of coal mines.

1712, Thomas Newcomen created what to help get water out of a coal mine?

He built a coal-powered steam engine that pumped water from the mines.

After James Watt improved the steam engine, what would happen after the patent ran out?

More improvements were made to where engines burned 10 times more efficiently than before.

How would the steam engine be used for textile work?

The engine would be attached to the machines making it work much faster to produce textiles.

What consequence of using engines for textile work took affect?

Textile work became less of being done at home instead being done at a factory.

How would Great Britain innovate on travel?

The invention of the steam train and ship.

Why was Great Britain the one to industrialize?

They had support from the government, they needed a solution in getting water out of wet coal mines, elites were interested in this technology.

Why not China, why didn't they industrialize?

Government beliefs barred experiments and change, coal in China was much deeper than the Great Britain, and a large population did not need the ease of machines yet.

How did industrialization spread, even if GB wanted to keep it a secere

People would bring machines to other countries, memorize them, or learned about them, taking them home.

Samual Slater brought industrialization to the US how did he do it?

He memorized the plans for making a factory, setting a textile one in Rhode island.

By the 1900s how would the US fair against other manufactures?

The us would produce 24% of them worlds products.

What local geographical elements of Great Britain cause them to go into a industrial revolution?

Area was flat and had canals/main roads which needed more fuels to keep going.

What global reasons are there to why GB industrialized.
