Role Of Industrialization In Great Britain

Section 3:

7. Britain was unable to keep industrial secrets away from other nations because entrepreneurs traveled around the world and they carry their ideas from other countries with them. That spread the word all across the Europe as well as the world, so ideas couldn't stay in one place. Britain’s location, financial prosperity, abundant natural resources set the stage for industrialization. The industrial revolution that began in Britain spread to other countries as well as to the United States. When the idea of industrialization came out, once one country had it and implemented the practice, other countries were soon to follow. Industrialization soon spread to other countries and they began adopting it, making it a huge industry.
People also left their farms to work in the factories to make more money for themselves and for their families. With this traveling around, the whole economy changed. It changed daily life, and life expectancy. It soon led to social reforms. Since people liked the idea of making more money in the factories, more and more people started leaving their little farms, moving into the cities to work and to live. Then more and more farmers left to come to the city and the word spread, move into the city where there were better jobs with more money. People fled quickly into the cities in search of better jobs and wages. This spread across all of the nations until everyone knew about it. With the British industrialization booming other countries were seeing the transformation and they began to adopt their practices and put them into placed with their own natural resources. The success in industrialization that Britain had couldn’t be kept a secret from the rest of the world due to the production of goods and equipment. The rest of the world could see what they were importing and exporting and they took note that
I think the most significant effect in the industrial revolution was how successful they can be by using the new factory system. The entrepreneurs saw what the country had for natural resources and they could access those resources to make goods and equipment for their own country. This created jobs and stimulated the economies. The factories could manufacturer these goods and sell them to other countries establishing international trade. For example, in Germany the only natural resource they had was coal. So that was one of the industrialized products in Germany. For other areas in Europe, industrialization didn't happen by country, but in smaller region groups, and areas that were rich or had access to specific goods or ways of transporting the goods to other areas. In other areas they taught themselves what they had access to and were able to capitalize on. They learned that by using the factory system they got more money and a new job that was somewhat easier and reliable. They learned they can get more money by moving into the city and working, instead of staying on their farms and doing hard labor on a daily basis. As the word of industrialization spread to other areas/regions and more people learned how successful they can be by moving into the city and working in the factories. This also created a specialized economic life. It made urban workers more dependent on the will of the employer than the rural worker had been in the rural area on themselves. The
