Topic 2: Industrialisation
Discuss critically Britain’s leadership in industrialising the economy. What were the
contributing factors in the 19th century that propelled this advance?
Essay
Back in the 1800s, Britain got really good at making lots of stuff in factories, and it
changed the world big time. But it wasn't just luck – there were a bunch of reasons
why Britain became the best at making things. My essay will look at why Britain got
so good at industry back then. It's all about stuff like having heaps of resources,
being in the right place, coming up with new machines, having stable leaders, being
good with money, lots of people moving to cities, and always wanting to do better.
Understanding these reasons helps us see how Britain became the top dog in
making things during the 1800s.
First off, Britain had loads of natural stuff that was really useful for starting its
industrial revolution. They had tons of coal and iron, which were super important for
running machines and making goods. This resource advantage gave Britain an early
lead in using machines compared to other countries. Also, Britain was in a good spot
geographically, which helped with trade and making money. They had lots of rivers,
canals, and roads that made it easy to move raw materials and finished products
around. Plus, Britain had colonies overseas, which meant they could sell their stuff to
other countries and get more materials to keep making things.
