All the above mentioned factors played a role for the success of the Industrial Revolution in Britain.
- During the Industrial Revolution, one of the cheapest modes to transfer heavy products like coal and iron was waterways. As a result, canals were widened and deepened. This allowed more boat transport.
- The invention of the steam engine in 1769 by James Watt revolutionized transportation.
- Technology thus helped with the Industrial Revolution.
- While the whole of Europe was facing political instability, the English capitalists were getting the support from British Government. This thus saw an ascendancy of capitalist practices.
- Serfdom ended and the Enclosure Movement paved the way for an emerging middle class in search of job opportunities. Thus, the social and political structure helped too.
