"It wasn’t just machines and workers. Great Britain also benefited from an economic philosophy. It was called mercantilism. The philosophy helped Britain win at economic competition with other countries." Page 4, BHP Article 9.4

People moved to the city for better job opportunities. They went to search for jobs. They settled by having a good minimum wage.

"Part of the reason why Europe’s manufacturing output was relatively small compared

with Asia’s in the mid-eighteenth century was because the Europeans did not wear

cotton clothing. Most Europeans wore either woolens or cloth made from flax. This

was not the case in Africa or Asia, where cotton and silk were the preferred cloths" (SAUL STRAUSSMAN & BRIDGETTE BYRD O’CONNOR). This tells us that Great Britain focused on a material (flax) that was less popular, thus making Britain less productive because it was way less popular than cotton.

The textile industry was the main beneficiary of coal in the early days of the industrial revolution because coal helped produce more cotton than ever. This caused Britain to top China in the production of textiles.
"Coal would power the large-scale mechanization of the textile industry, which would ultimately propel Great Britain to be the top manufacturer of textiles...  Clearly more than cotton cloth was produced from the energy derived from all of that coal, but the textile industry was the primary beneficiary of this fuel in the early days of the Industrial Revolution" (Saul Straussman & Bridgette Byrd O'Conner)

It was often done in peoples homes, using hand tools or basic machines.

As time progressed, European goods changed from homemade products into factory made ones; these products were all made from the raw materials fed by the colonies.

I think that the industrial revolution has ended. I think it has ended because we have the same manufacturing processes. We do not have any new processes.

I don't think the Industrial Revolution has ended, at least not yet, because there are still many products still made in factories, transportation still being used like steam engine boats/trains. Yes, some of these have been innovated to be more advanced but there are still of these in the world being used today. The industrial revolution might end if we made everything advanced like our main source is now electricity or the sun. Some are using those as energy but others still use coal.

I do think the industrial revolution has come to an end with all this new technology. The technology has made these old machines out of use.

Historians McNeill and William H. McNeill argue that it was the way we released great quantities of energy in the form of fossil fuels and a concentration of capital and through transportation innovations that helped transform the production and distribution of goods.

I believe the Industrial Revolution has ended since we are no longer focusing fossil fuels. We are now focusing on advancing our technology and computers.  The Industrial Revolution was the transition to factories and now we are transitioning to more advanced technology and innovation .

Great Britain was behind from Asia in terms of global manufacturing output since Asia focused on silk. All countries were far behind on Asia in terms of manufacturing outputs in 1750
