Answer:
The Industrial Revolution led Britain into a new era of technology creating modern inventions like trains, factories, steamships, etc. All of these inventions were shared throughout Europe and slowly developed between the 18th-19th century. As countries in Europe began to industrialize the demand for natural resources was high. These industries created munitions and arms for weapons to conquer colonial territories, then would later be put to use in Europe during World War One. As both sides Allies and Central Powers on the Western Front were at a stalemate. It was called a war of attrition due to ammunition and supplies constantly being produced by industries and then running out with little gain in territory. The Industrial Revolution set up European countries for one of the biggest wars known to man and many did not expect such devastation from new technologies that were developed during the industrial revolution.
