What roles did great Britain's colonies play in causing that Industrial Revolution

History
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
5 0
The economic value of having colonies in the first place was for 3 main reasons

1) attain cheap labour from the native peoples
2) acquire cheap raw materials to bring to the homeland (Europe)
3) open up new markets to trade with

the first two were vital in Britains industrial revolution. Without cheap raw materials, and cheap labourers, the factories and refineries in Britain would have costed far more to maintain and keep supplied. This, in turn, would have slowed down production considerably. There is no doubt in my mind that the industrial revolution would still have taken place in Britain with or without the colonies, but WITH the colonies the process was sped up considerably.

Overall, cheap labour and raw materials attained through Britains colonial interests sped up the industrialisation of the UK.

Which event sparked the onset of World War I?
serious [3.7K]

Germany's invasion of Belgium sparked the onset of World War I

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reason why world war 1 started was that Germany invaded and entered Belgium. Because it wanted to attack France from the northern side. Also it had to go through and cross the borders of Belgium but this was out rightly rejected by the officials of Belgium.

So as a result of this refusal, Germany decided to invade and enter Belgium by force also on 4th of August in the year 1914 and decided to attack France also there after.
