Factors
in
Great
Britain
contributing
to
the
birthplace
of
the
Industrial
Revolution:
Agricultural
practices
became
more
efficient,
producing
more
food
at
lower
prices.
The
enclosure
movement
of
the
eighteenth
century
caused
many
peasants
to
move
to
towns,
increasing
the
labor
supply.

The
wealthy
merchant
class
of
Britain
had
a
ready
supply
of
capital
to
invest
in
the
new
industrial
machines
and
factories.
Entrepreneurs
devised
new
business
methods
and
ways
to
make
profits.
Britain
had
plentiful
natural
resources,
such
as
water,
coal,
and
iron
ore.

Britain’s
vast
colonial
empire
gave
British
manufacturers
a
ready
outlet
for
goods.

In
the
eighteenth
century,
cotton
production
using
the
cottage
industry
system
was
made
inefficient
by
a
series
of
new
technological
advances.

New
technological
advances,
such
as
the
spinning
jenny
and
flying
shuttle,
gave
Britain
an
advantage
in
producing
inexpensive
cotton
goods.
The
cotton
industry
became
more
productive
when
Scottish
engineer
James
Watt
modified
his
steam
engine
to
drive
machinery.

The
steam
engine
was
crucial
to
Britain’s
Industrial
Revolution,
leading
to
an
expansion
of
the
coal
and
iron
industries.
Puddling
was
a
process
used
to
make
high
quality
iron
for
the
production
of
new
machines,
especially
trains.
Factory
owners
wanted
to
use
their
machinery
constantly,
so
laborers
worked
in
shifts
and
machines
ran
continuously.
Child
labor
was
common.

were
a
key
component
of
the
Industrial
Revolution
and
led
to
ongoing
economic
growth.

Railroads
moved
and
manufactured
goods
more
efficiently.
The
first
commercial
railroad
connected
the
cotton-manufacturing
town
of
Manchester
to
the
port
of
Liverpool.
