The Industrial Revolution began in the United Kingdom and most of the important technological innovations were British. Mechanized textile production spread to continental Europe in the early 19th century, with important centers in France.t also included the change from wood and other bio-fuels to coal. Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment, value of output and capital invested; the textile industry was also the first to use modern production methods.
There are two main ways in which the Industrial Revolution and imperialism were linked to one another. First, the Industrial Revolution made imperialism more necessary. Second, it made imperialism more possible. The Industrial Revolution helped to create a situation in which the European countries (as well as the United States and, eventually, Japan) felt that they needed to have large empires.
