Answer 1

It is true that ​even before factories began to dot the landscape in England and Europe there was large scale industrial production for an international market in the country side. This phase of industrialisation is known as Proto Industrialisation. It was not based on factories but products were made by artisans and craftsmen on a massive scale in their homes which reached the international markets. Such artisans and craftsmen were supplied money by the merchants of towns in Europe to produce for international market.
