Thee of the main reasons why the Industrial Revolution occurred in America were because 1) there was a large labor force ready to work, 2) there were lots of coal and fossil fuel deposits that were used to power many of the engines in the factories, and 2) a democratic capitalist system was ideal for allowing businesses to thrive without much government oversight.

Conquered territories were often left relatively unchanged under their old rulers as long as they recognized Aztec supremacy and paid tribute.
