In Britain, the industrial revolution begins due to the abundance of coal and iron within their territory, population growth due to new agricultural practices, and the use of new financial practices. The industrial revolution impacted Britain because it led to the creation of more jobs due to higher demand for resources needed to manufacture goods, leading to the creation of a growing middle class.

In Europe the industrial revolution began following the start of the industrial revolution in Britain. Many European countries had access to the resources needed to industrialize through natural resources as well as imported resources through the many European ports. The Industrial revolution in Europe helped to urbanize many countries such as France, as well as uniting many different countries like Germany.

Promontory Point is where the Trans-Continental railroad joined together, connecting the eastern US with the western US. This railroad was created due to rising demand for easy transportation across the US for homesteading as well as business travel. This railroad impacted the US because it allowed for people to easily travel across the united states, helping the western states grow in population, fueling the industrial revolution on the west coast.

In Russia, industrialization began due to government movements that aimed to help Russia catch up to the west in terms of industrialization and economics. The effects industrialization had on Russia included easier trade with east Asian countries due to the trans-Siberian railroad, as well as civil unrest due to low wages and dangerous work environments, leading to the creation of the Bolsheviks and the Russian revolution.

The Trans-Siberian railroad was a railway that stretched across the Siberian wilderness. It was completed in 1904 and made it remarkably easy for Moscow to trade with east Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Japan was one of the first Asian countries to attempt to industrialize. They industrialized because they were quickly falling behind the rest of the world and needed to catch up for their national security. One major effect industrialization had on Japan was the abolition of feudalism and shoguns, leading to a more centralized government and them eventually becoming a major world power.

Southeast Asia

In India and southeast Asia, industrialization began due to the British influence over the area, spreading industrialization throughout the British colony of India, and eventually the rest of southeast Asia. However, the British saw the industrialization of India as a threat to their empire and did everything in their power to prevent India from industrializing. India also had a flourishing textile industry, which posed a threat to British textile industries, leading the British to impose more sanctions to prevent India from industrializing textile production.

Egypt

Similar to India, Egypt specialized in textiles, and industrialized their textile industries. Egypt industrialized in order to stimulate their economy. Despite Egypt's attempts at rapid industrialization, they eventually fell behind the rest of the world since they were unable to keep up.
