Detailed explanation-1: -Rapid industrialisation first began in Britain, starting with mechanized textiles spinning in the 1780s, with high rates of growth in steam power and iron production occurring after 1800.
Detailed explanation-2: -Another major reason why the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain was that it had an abundant supply of what economists call the three “factors of production". These factors of production are land, labor, and capital.
Detailed explanation-3: -Industrialization led to the creation of the factory, and the factory system contributed to the growth of urban areas as large numbers of workers migrated into the cities in search of work in the factories. In England and Wales, the proportion of the population living in cities jumped from 17% in 1801 to 72% in 1891.
Detailed explanation-4: -One of the most important innovations of the Agricultural Revolution was the development of the Norfolk four-course rotation, which greatly increased crop and livestock yields by improving soil fertility and reducing fallow.
