Using the image and your knowledge, which answer does NOT explain a factor as to why the Industrial Revolution began in Great Br
Stolb23 [73]

The First Industrial Revolution, which initiated in Britain, in 1750, happened due to several factors that favored its boom and growth. The first of the many factors was the happening of the Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century, which led to a surplus production of foodstuffs. This meant that people had more money to spend in things that were not the acquirement of basic needs, like food. Another issue was that there was a great increase in the population numbers and many farmers began to migrate towards places where they could find work in factories and new industries. Also, because of the successful English revolutions of the 17th century there was an economic and financial boom, also given by the increased sales of cotton and other crops that were traded. This meant that there was further injection of funds to the creation of factories. Finally, two other factors were the vast presence of mineral resources, such as coal to feed the industries and which could be transported easily, and the second, the empowerment and creation of financial institutions which led to easier access to funds for the creation of new factories. From the options given, then, the only one that does NOT explain a factor is A: low population density. All other options were factors that aided in the success of the Industrial Revolution in England.
