Industrial Revolution

Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in Great Britain?

The industrial revolution originated in Great Britain in the early 19th century, due to advances in agriculture such as the plow, and seed drill. These significant farming tools allowed for more work to be done with the help of fewer employees. Prior to these changes, rural places were far more populated compared to urban areas. People eventually began to migrate to the city in search of work after improved technology won their job over. These agricultural developments inevitably led to the an industrial revolution, starting with the making of textiles. A reason these busy cities were able to sustain the manufacturing business successfully, was because of the Atlantic Ocean surrounding it.
