Solution
The Industrial Revolution first began in England because capitalist and labour class increased.

The profits earned in the colonies made large amounts of capital available to the British merchants. The availability of cheap labour made it possible for them to maintain an optimum level of costs. These factors giving boost to the economy prepared favourable ground for the onset of the industrial revolution in England.
