Meghna Thapar 5 years, 5 months ago

By 1850, at the apogee of its power, Britain had 1.8% of the world population. The area of the British Isles is only about 0.16% of the world landmass. Yet Britain then produced two-thirds of world output of coal and one half of world production of cotton textiles and iron. After 1770, iron (and later, steel), replaced wood as the material for making industrial machines and tools. ... As the Industrial Revolution began to speed up, the need for coal grew because it provided power for the factory engines, steam-powered ships and steam locomotives. Second, the demand for iron increased.
