Question

Explain the process of rapid industrialisation in Britain during the 19th century

Answer 1

The process of industrialization can be traced as follows :-

• It began with the establishment of cotton industries.
• Further technological progressions such as carding, twisting, rolling etc. increased efficiency in the cotton mills.
• Richard Arkwright created the first cotton mill which had all the processes under one roof making the supervision easier.
• The process of industrialization was initially limited to cotton and metal industries.
