The document discusses the key reasons why England was the first country to industrialize: 1) England had abundant natural resources like coal and iron as well as many rivers for powering machinery. The population also increased, providing a large labor force. 2) Agricultural improvements led to more food and a growing population. Land enclosures forced peasants into cities to work in factories. 3) The government did not interfere with the free market, allowing inventors and entrepreneurs to develop new technologies and businesses to drive industrialization.
