Answer 1

The printing press and the plantations were two early European factors influencing the birth of the Industrial Revolution. The Crusades were fought centuries earlier for religious purposes.

Answer 2

The answer is:

• the printing press
• the Crusades

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the 1870's, and involved the change from hand labor to machine production. It was influenced by Johann Gutenberg's invention of a printing system adapted from existing techniques, as well as by the Europe's interest in dismissing its isolation, which encouraged trade, travel and the coalescence of new concepts.
