The Anthropocene marks a time when human activities were able to significantly alter the environment, some historians believe it marked the time when the Industrial Revolution began (1700CE to 1900CE ). The Industrial Revolution was essentially humanity's breakthrough into modernity, rapid advances in technology and the use of fossil fuels gave man a seemingly infinite reserve of energy that could be used to transform processes manual to automated processes, which has radically changed the game for the manufacturing sector. communications and transportation industries.(1)Historians have often been perplexed by the fact that the Industrial Revolution began in Britain and quickly spread throughout Europe, but did not develop in any other region of the world, which is strange because we have seen such equally important advances in areas like agriculture that developed independently in various places around the world because it was a new source of significant energy needed to sustain larger communities. (2) This article will focus on the circumstances of Britain, how the revolution spread across Europe, and why the revolution did not take place in a relatively advanced country of China. Britain before the Industrial RevolutionBefore the Industrial Revolution, Britain was a relatively advanced country. An advanced country with a small population compared to China, workers had a relatively high standard of living compared to Asian workers. (3) The British economy before the revolution was strong, trade restrictions were virtually non-existent, most businesses were free enterprises, and the government often supported local businesses. businesses through project financing. (3) Britain's strong economy and milieu of experimental scientific science instead relied on experiment for their progress. The Chinese did not experience a scientific revolution because the government did not encourage intellectuals to invest the manpower and resources necessary for scientific research.(8) Ultimately, the reason why The industrial revolution that occurred in Britain was circumstantial: it simply had the right conditions in play. At the right time, relatively relaxed government, trade routes, and investment in education are what ultimately made the industrial revolution happen in Britain. Great Britain a great success and the cradle of industrialization. Unfortunately for the Chinese, who were great innovators for their time, they could not adapt quickly and did not have the conditions necessary for such a revolution. The large population size and lack of education are the main factors that killed any chance of a scientific and industrial revolution..
