1. England had experienced all of the forerunners of industrialization in the previous century: an agricultural revolution, cottage industry, and an expanded commercial revolution. These developments had built surplus capital and an infrastructure
(shipping, banking, insurance, joint stock companies).

2. England already had a handcraft textile industry using wool, but with the availability of cotton from overseas markets as an alternative raw material.

3. The scientific revolution in England prepared the way for new inventions to be applied to industry.

4. A spreading shortage of wood (used for energy, for shipbuilding and
construction) stimulated a search for alternatives.

5. England was rich in supplies of coal for energy and iron for construction.

6. England had a long, irregular coastline with many rivers and natural
harbors which provided easy transportation by water to many areas.

7. England's population grew rapidly in the 18th century, providing a labor
force for industry.

Answer:

The theme chosen was "change in the main agreements built in the Versailles Treaty"

Explanation:

Gentlemen, when reading and analyzing the provisions established in the Treaty of Versailles, I felt the need to bring them together so that together we can discuss these provisions so that we can foresee possible harmful consequences for us and for all nations in the world.

Although Germany was one of the main culprits for the establishment of the war that caused us so much harm, I am afraid that the treaty established, will reinforce resentful feelings in the German population, regarding the difficulties that the treaty impose in the recovery of this region.

I fear that these feelings will trigger political and social movements that will stimulate a population revolt that results in yet another conflict to which we will be involved.

With that, I propose that some points of the Versailles Treaty be modified and that the punishments for Germany be milder in some ways. I do not ask for Germany to be pardoned, but for the treaty to propose punishments that allow the population to recover and have a dignified life, because despite the regrets, we are all human beings and in addition to paying for our mistakes, we must be able to maintain our dignity.
