Question

How do the locations of the centers of industrialization today compare with those during the Industrial Revolution, and how do you account for any differences?

Answer 1

Industrial revolution first started in England in the later half of the 18th century. In Britain new machinery were invented and there was rapid progress of the industrial revolution. At the initial position the industrial revolution was confined in Britain only and throughout the world they did monopoly business. At first the textile industry was set up and Britain did business throughout the whole world. At that period Britain had set up imperialism in many countries. Therefore they would collect raw materials forcefully in low cost and they developed the industry very rapidly. Britain was the centre of the industrial rrevolution and from Britain the goods would be exported to the other regions of the world.

But gradually the industrial revolution spread in the other paprts of Europe. Britain would collect raw materials from India, China, America and other countries. But in case of the other European countries there was not such advantage. But these European countries gradually developed. Then steam engine was developed and there came great revolution in the field of communication.

But now for the advancement of globalization, industrial revolution is not confined in a single place. Now, all the countries are the centres of production. All the companies are free now to set up their factory in any country and they are always welcomed by all the countries. Similarly, the field of business is not limited. Any country can do marketing anywhere. It is maintained and controlled by the world trade organizations. Now, the wave of the industrial revolution is felt from every corner of the world.
