The correct answer is Industrial Revolution

It was in England that the phenomenon of industrialization began and that is why the English Industrial Revolution was a pioneer. Several factors explain the reasons for this primacy.

England had the capital, political stability, and equipment needed to take the lead in the advancement of industry.

Since the late Middle Ages, a significant part of the population has been heading to the cities due to the enclosures of the countryside. Landless, the peasants would eventually enter the emerging factories.

It also had colonies in Africa and Asia that provided raw material with cheap labor.
