5. The Main reasons why the Industrial
Revolution began in Britain
Some key points to remember:
• The Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century provided a favourable climate for industrialization.
• With a growing population, resources needed to be quickly and easily manufactured in large quantities. The
establishment of factories and large businesses with labor force.
• People moved from rural villages or hamlets, to larger cities, where work was readily available. Cites such as
London, Manchester and Liverpool saw population booms during the peak of the Industrial revolution.
• The iron and textile industries, along with the development of the steam engine, played central roles in the
Industrial Revolution, which also saw improved systems of transportation, communication and banking.
• While industrialization brought about an increased volume and variety of manufactured goods and an
improved standard of living for some, it also resulted in often grim employment and living conditions for the
poor and working classes.
