The industrial revolution began in England because of the following reasons:

  • Abundance of coal
  • Access to waterways
  • Government support

Answer: Options B, C and D

Explanation:

Out of the many reasons for the industrial revolution to begin in England was its location. England is located right above a mountain of coal and this coal was both accessible and extractable.

This coal served as a resource to generate more power for industrial works. The rivers flowing through England made an excellent and the cheapest form of transporting goods within the country.

The government also supported the growing industries as they could fetch more revenue for the country.
