Question

What were 4 factors that contributed to industrialization in britain

Answer 1

1. Many farmers and people living in the countryside migrating to the cities to look for jobs in factories. Increasing the employment in production factories increased the growth of industrialisation.

2. Development in transport (railway and canals) improved the speed of trade and made it easier for factories to distribute product, this helped industrialisation because increasing the rate of production and distribution made factories make more money.

3. Development in factory machinery and equipment made jobs easier and quicker to undertake. Speeding production and having to employ less people to do hard tasks meant the products being produced were of better quality and could be produced on a bigger scale. Growing producing rates increased the growth of industrialisation.

4. Britain increased its imports and exports a lot meaning it had plenty of trade, boosting economy and pushing for more change leading to industrialisation.
