In which John Green wraps up revolutions month with what is arguably the most revolutionary of modern revolutions, the Industrial Revolution. While very few leaders were beheaded in the course of this one, it changed the lives of more people more dramatically than any of the political revolutions we’ve discussed. So, why did the Industrial Revolution happen around 1750 in the United Kingdom? Coal. Easily accessible coal, it turns out. All this, plus you’ll finally learn the difference between James Watt and Thomas Newcomen, and will never again be caught telling people that your blender has a 900 Newcomen motor.

For all the inventions that China came up with, the one they never got the hang of was glass. They had it, they invented spectacles, but they never used it to its full potential, especially in chemistry. And You never see a Chinese glass vase on the Antiques Roadshow .

You forgot that they didn't Imported cotton from india , they snatched it and killed millions of jobs and thousands of people. Double taxation policy which forced Indians to go for cheap cloth made in London rather their own country clothes. Their is revolt occurred in india against cotton exports in late 18 century but they protestor were killed and detained. This is just another classic example of ignorant Britishers. ALWAYS SEE BOTH PERSPECTIVES.
