Why did the industrial revolution start in the UK, then Europe and North America? The industrial revolution followed the abolishment of slavery!


A SLAVE CULTURE DEMANDED CONSTANT BRUTALITY TO ACQUIRE, MANIPULATE AND CONTROL THEIR SLAVES.

AS WORLDWIDE SLAVERY SLOWLY AND IMPERFECTLY WAS ABOLISHED, THE SLAVELESS CULTURES TURNED TO TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT FORMERLY WERE MET BY SLAVES


Causes for occurrence in Europe

Some historians such as David Landes[23] and Max Weber credit the different belief systems in China and Europe with dictating where the (industrial) revolution occurred. The religion and beliefs of Europe were largely products of Judaeo-Christianity, and Greek thought. Conversely, Chinese society was founded on men like Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi (Legalism), Lao Tzu (Taoism), and Buddha (Buddhism). Whereas the Europeans believed that that the universe was governed by rational and eternal laws, the East, believed that the universe was in constant flux and, for Buddhists and Taoists, not capable of being rationally understood.
