At this point in time, France also has significant possessions, which will later be taken by Britain, and then an independent US, as it grows across continental North America. But the thing to notice in this map is despite these significant possessions, much of the world is not controlled by the Europeans. Yes, England also is starting to have a bit of a colonial possession, although at this point it's a corporate possession, in Eastern India, in Bengal, but much of Africa and Asia is not under European control. But then as we enter into the second half of the 18th century, and especially the 19th century, something important happens in the scope of human history, and that's the Industrial Revolution, or maybe you could say the Industrial Revolutions. Now, there's many technologies that are central to the Industrial Revolution, but probably most important is the steam engine, although you could contend maybe it's the steam engine, maybe it's electrification, maybe it is the telegraph. But the steam engine all of a sudden allows us to harness the power of really coal to create steam to turn engines, and then these engines could be used to power factories so that you could amplify what human labor could do before. This factory right over here, it looks like they're creating fabric from some kind of thread, or they might be sewing of some kind.
