What are the options?

From 1750 onwards a new industry emerged in Britain - the production of cotton cloth. Wool production had previously been Britain's major industry, but cotton had one key advantage - machinery could process cotton fibres better than wool.

As a result it was in cotton production that the industrial revolution began, particularly in and around Manchester. The cotton used was mostly imported from slave plantations. Slavery provided the raw material for industrial change and growth.

The growth of the Atlantic economy was an integral part of the growth of exports - for example manufactured cotton cloth was exported to Africa.

The Atlantic economy can be seen as the spark for the biggest change in modern economic history. The Atlantic economy in the 1700s was founded on slave labour.

What does anno domini mean
Sauron [17]
It means "year of our lord" in Latin, meaning the number of years since Jesus.
The years before the AD ones are labeled 'BC', for "Before Christ".

Both of those labels are the reasons why many people, especially
non-Christians, such as for example Jews and Muslims, prefer to
label the years as 'BCE' and 'CE', meaning "Before the Common Era"
and "Common Era".

Evaluate the extent to which imperialism influence state formation and contraction around the world in the period 1750 to 1900.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: As states industrialized during this period, they also expanded their existing overseas colonies and established new types of colonies and transoceanic empires.  Regional warfare and diplomacy both resulted in and were affected by this process of modern empire building.  The process was led mostly by Europe, although not all states were affected equally, which led to an increase of European influence around the world   the United States and Japan also participated in this process.  The growth of new empires challenged the power of existing land-based empires of Eurasia.  New ideas about nationalism, race, gender, class, and culture also developed that facilitated the spread of transoceanic empires, as well as justified anti-imperial resistance and the formation of new national identities.
