Britain was basically where the Industrial Revolution started. It spread because the agriculture advanced along with transportation and technology methods. The effect this had was that Britain became one of the main industrial powers so its economy grew and it became urbanized. This unfortunately also led to poor working conditions. Some technologies that came in Britain was the spinning Jenny which helped produce clothing and the steam engine that helped with transportation.

The IR came to the US in the 19th century mainly in the northeast and then it became more industrialized after the Civil war. This caused the US to become a big industrial power and led to economic growth and immigration. This also unfortunately caused struggle with labor and working conditions. It also affected the environment with pollution. One technology was the cotton gin which increased textile production and made it much easier to produce cotton. The telegraph was another invention and it helped with long distance communication.

Russia

The IR came to Russia in the 19th century and increased after Soviet policies in the 20th century. This caused the economy to become more modern but also made working conditions extremely harsh. This also led to the Russian Revolution. One technology was the Trans-Siberian Railway which connected many regions and transportation. Another one was steel production which made construction better.

Japan

Japan started to rapidly industrialize during the Meiji Restoration which was the late 19th century. They adopted many ideas and technologies from the West. This caused Japan to improve their military power and they also had economic growth along with urbanization. They were one of the major industrial powers like Britain and the US. One technology was textile Mills which used raw materials to increase the textile industry. Another one was shipbuilding which increased trade and transportation.

India

India wasn't very industrialized but their was some development in the clothing field and railways which helped transportation. This meant they were dependent on agriculture and resources and they were also controlled by colonial powers which meant they were more economic dependent. Some raw materials exported was cotton and rubber. Cotton helped Britain with textile Mills and rubber was useful to Southeast Asia.

Egypt

Egypt didn't put much effort into industrializing and they were not politically stable. They did attempt to modernize their economy like the Suez Canal but their economy stayed agrarian for the most part. The Suez Canal was an invention that helped with global trade. They also had cotton cultivation which was one of their main exports.

Africa

Africa wasn't very industrialized but they did put effort into developing their infrastructure. Their economy was dependent on raw materials and their industry didn't grow much. Their economy and society was also changed because of colonialism. Africa exported gold and rubber to Central Africa and South Africa.

South America

Industrialization in South America was uneven because some regions were up to date while others weren't. Countries like Brazil and Argentina had more industrialization and developments than other countries. The effect was that South America had some growth but still was dependent on agriculture and exporting materials like minerals. They also had political instability. They exported raw materials like coffee from Brazil and nitrates that came from Chile and was used as fertilizer.

Europe

Europe(other than Britain) spread across Europe to places like France and Germany while other countries were a bit delayed. Industrialization caused urbanization and technological advances. It also caused competition between the different European states especially because Britain was ahead. One invention was the locomotive which helped with transportation. Another one was a process called the Bessemer process which made steel easier to produce.
