What were some causes of the Industrial Revolution?

England's Industrial Revolution began in 1760 due to a number of factors. First, England was experiencing an economic boom due to trade, and the money was invested in financial institutions that funded factories. Additionally, the 18th-century Agricultural Revolution in England resulted in an increase of food production and less need for agricultural workers due to technological improvements. These changes both decreased the number of agricultural jobs relative to factory jobs and lowered food costs, allowing families to spend more money on manufactured goods. England also possessed natural resources that facilitated the rise of industry; for example, the country contained a massive supply of coal to power their new factories. In the early 18th century, railroads were improved throughout England, which made exchange of raw materials and manufactured goods across the country much easier than it had been prior to the 18th century.
