Why did the Industrial Revolution start in Britain?

[@pradyumn2692]

This was a history and a cooking lesson at the same time.

[@NathanHarrison7]

Thank you very much for covering what led up to the industrial revolution. It’s been hard for me to find that information on KZbin. Subscribed.

[@fredweiss]

Very good presentation.

[@fredweiss]

He might have added some of the innovations which came from the United States such as the cotton gin and the steam ship, Also canals and, soon, railroads which burgeoned in the U.S. as much if not more than in Britain.

[@InfiniteDaoOfLife137]

The quality of your video gives me the impression that you'd have like 100k subs but you only have 14k and 3k views keep up the good work :)

[@copernicus6420]

To be honest, I wasn't expecting such a comprehensive explanation.

[@matthewtelepneff2168]

Brilliant, please do more kitchen videos.

[@invtrk1046]

Impressive production mate

[@ArshiChauhan02]

Thank you for making it so interesting.

[@kodor1146]

You forgot one of the most important assets: the transatlantic slave trade and slavery.

[@fatimajunejo]

Wow. Nice way to explain

[@mozymaz2236]

The laws enacted in Britain that set the economic stage for the Industrial Revolution (the butter) were the direct result of the English Civil War (1641-1651).

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Bold claim. I agree.

[@Patrick-lf3of]

Really good thanks mate

[@QuantumNoir]

Solid video

[@memofromessex]

You ignore the Enclosure Acts, forcing people of their lands and into the cities. And the booming wool trade. And East India Company. Also, I can't remember which Chinese academic pointed out in comparable history, rule of law for the rich and not rule by consent.

[@HistoryHub]

Check out our video on the agricultural revolution for more on enclosures.

[@amasulem]

Another precondition was the emergence of shared risk corporate structures derived from their royal chartered beginnings...ie how that excess capital was created.

Thnx for making me pass my exam tomorrow, I am laughing

Nice vid

[@Dybbouk]

Social structure?

[@seanmcdonald5859]

Why on earth does he keep putting ingredients out of its container and into ANOTHER container before FINALLY putting the ingredient into the mixing bowl? Who makes a cake like that? Its so weird.

[@sachinbalasundaram865]

Who is here from mr reign

[@Ingens_Scherz]

There had been no slavery within the British Isles for 700 years by the time the first Industrial Revolution began. That's a crucial ingredient which, sadly, in this otherwise fairly effective potted history, omits. It resulted in Britain's 19th Century global war on slavery: its real "finest hour".

[@wattage-uk9zt]

There was only one ingredient needed for the Industrial Revolution, Steam Power. James Watt's invention of the world's first PRACTICAL High Pressure Steam Powered Engine, in Scotland, created the Industrial Revolution. He dumped Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's 2000 years old Water-Power for Steam Power. And that was it!

[@jonahtwhale1779]

No water power was available before steam. It was capitalism that supercharged the IR.

[@tommykebschull9439]

Exactly, but I would argue Great Britain enabled a man like Watts to exist. The pro capitalism, the natural resources, the capital from the British East India Company making the country rich. And who laid the scientific principles that he used? Sir Isaac Newton, also British.

interesting

Land/Labor/Capital!

[@sicks6six]

it happened in Britain first for three reasons, 1 COAL 2 IRON ORE 3 BRITAINS ARE BRAINY

[@bautistamercader4737]

So if all the other factors don't count, then you just said that british people are racially superior.

[@bautistamercader4737]

That one guy who didn't pay attention at class

[@copernicus6420]

Used to be brainy.

[@Walter-w9v]

We only needed one ingredient for the Industrial Revolution. STEAM POWER. Scotland's James Watt dumped Newcomen's 70 years old Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's 2000 years old Water-Power for Steam Power! To achieve that he had to invent a new engine, the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine. It changed Britain and then the world. It was a Power Revolution! Take away James Watt's Steam Power and Steam machinery and you don't get an Industrial Revolution. No Steamships, Locomotives, and no thousands more Steam driven Factories. Just Newcomen Atmospheric Pumps and some Arkwright Waterwheels. It was nothing to do with textiles and " flying shuttles " ! I knew this would get me no likes!

[@qedqubit]

in my -oh so humble- opinion... it didn't ! All y'all British think it started with steam engines , but it was when the Dutch started using windmills to produce land from water & timber from trees.-AND invented kapitalism with the EastIndiaTrade COMPANY...

[@bharatvarsh7975]

You know Mr British.Britain had an industrial revolution because it had a resource-rich colony like India. And market too

[@HaileeSteinfeldUniverse]

They are still earning their livelihood from the stolen artifacts from india

[@azamkhan-rn7nv]

Yeah but we indians were busy in fighting with each other and the brits have the brains enough to envision how to harness the resources of our country so they did.

[@pathikkandhari]

@@azamkhan-rn7nv infight doesn’t that anyone can come and take away our resources.

[@CAZMO410]

I am amazed at how little resentment Indians hold against us. It is a testament to their character. Hopefully things like that never happen again, to anyone.

[@perfection9630]

@@azamkhan-rn7nv I hope you realise when they said "India" this also includes Pakistan...

[@Joe-hu7lx]

You forgot the most important ingredient. Jesus Christ, that the Christian faith did well in Europe generally, and the lack of Muslim persecution.

[@lonelydog1429]

Wat does cake have to do with industrial revolution

[@someguy3766]

It's an analogy, duh.

[@infinityyworks]

The cake is a lie

[@walterbennie816]

The Industrial Revolution happened due to the one and only Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Engine by Scotland's James Watt It was a Power Revolution! Watt didn't have loads of money. He had to work at the same time. Take away Steam Power and Steam Technology and you have no Industrial Revolution!

[@CUBEISUM]

wow no one cares

[@Srindal4657]

Watch your mouth, that's your history hes talking about. Even your comment is 8 months into history

[@eeshapatel58]

Lmao Royal Holloway video has been saving my ass on my a-level as it has no revision guide.
