Answer 1

Before World War I, many countries began to industrialize. The first country to become industrialize was England from 1760 and then in the others countries from 1820 to 1840. Between 1850 and 1914 France, Germany and Belgium began industrialize. The last ones was Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Spain and Russia.
