Answer 2

The correct answer is option D. In order to stop the spread of industrial technology, Britain forbade mechanics, engineers, and others from leaving the country. The Industrial Revolution began in England in 1760, with the creation and exploitation of different industries, such as the textile. Once the new era of mass production and new technologies started, it did not take long for other countries to be interested in joining the Revolution. America was one of the powers most interested in becoming a leader of the Industrialization. Due to the War of 1812, Britain decided to put a block upon America and this led America to rely on its own resources to develop its industries. But the British government's members were afraid that if the industrial technology would spread to different territories, they would lose the power that the country had acquired thanks to these improvements. This is when they decided to forbid their mechanics, engineers and others from leaving the country, in an attempt to secure their production methods.
