The Industrial Revolution began in England, approximately the middle of the 1700s, or around 1760. This marked a revolution that drew society from agriculture and craftsmanship to a new world of machine-based manufacturing and the factory system. England had everything it took to ignite this revolution: abundant coal and iron resources, a stable government, an established banking system eager to finance new projects, and extensive colonial territories that provided natural resources and markets for manufactured goods. Some of the first catalysts for this revolution included the steam engine and textile machines such as the spinning jenny.
