In what respects did the roots of the Industrial Revolution lie within Europe? In what ways did that transformation have global roots? – Q/A (Question and Answer)

Answer:

1.The roots of the Industrial Revolution lay within Europe because Europe’s political system, which was composed of many small and highly competitive states, favored innovation.
2.Globally, Europe after 1500 became the hub of the largest and most varied network of exchange in the world, which generated extensive change and innovation and stimulated European commerce.
3.The conquest of the Americas allowed Europeans to draw disproportionately on world resources and provided a growing market for European machine-produced goods.
