उत्तर
During the later part of the 18th century, England was in the most favourable position for an industrial revolution.
- Through her overseas trade, England had accumulated vast profits which could provide the necessary capital.
- She had acquired colonies which ensured a regular supply of raw material and markets for finished goods.
- England had plenty of natural resources, such as iron and coal existing in the vicinity and essential for industries. This provided the basis for new industries.
- Due to the enclosure movement, a large army of landless unemployed people was created. Thus, there was an abundance of the labour force to work in the factories.
- England had developed a large shipping industry and had no problem with the transportation of raw materials and finished goods abroad.
