I think, of the four choices listed, "A" is the best
2 :
I think more than one of those is right, if not all of them. As for why it started in Britain instead of America, America was still a developing country. It was working to develop its government and such. It wasn't ready to start an Industrial Revolution.

its a
4 :
i would choose A Historians such as Kenneth Pomeranz, R Bin Wong and Andre Gunder Frank support the theory that Britain industrialised first primarily because of the location of coal (e.g. resources) and innovation (new technolgy) B is incorrect and Britain didnt have the largest population C is incorrect as countries like China or India had access to seas and used the flow of water to transport materials/products D ... i havent really heard of any countries providing Britain with funding. it would seem unlikely as most of the countries were competing with each other for supremacy etc but im not to sure

Basically, there were peasants tradesmen Ancient families like mine, going back 940 years. We needed the tradesmen to sell things to peasants to keep them working in the fields and factories, so they could tug their forelocks as we rode past. If they stole something, we got pissed off and sent them to Australia (Van Diemens Land). We owned all the land and kept them in poverty, encouraging them to breed so we had more workers. Doesn't this start to sound like the catholic church????

those are wonderful things that you have planned for yourself and the best way to achieve those is to start with yourself. forget those traumatic experiences for they're in the past. instead, dwell on the present and the future. work hard on those goals and live your life you see fit. but the most important thing is be "happy". you can do it. believe in yourself.

ranches in the southern states are VERY expensive..as is healthcare since it's not free..so it would force you to get a job, very soon if you want to save up. Right now the US is difficult to get into..but maybe not so much if you are from the UK...why not stay in Europe? switzerland seems beautiful and friendly. and being bilingual would be a great benefit for you for getting a job. If you move to Canada (victoria, BC is beautiful and warm basically all year) getting a job in several places may be easy since french is widely spoken here.

could Great Britain become a superpower again because we are not hated like USA (America).
could Great Britain become a superpower again because we are not hated like USA (America).?
Im sick of kissing America's a.s.s how do you think Britain can become a superpower and rich again. I think the size of Russia,Usa,China etc and there population help, at 1 time in history Britain was cantrolling 40% of the worlds population, i am shocked we do not have superpower status still it is a disgreace.I think what will, help us is if we start producing are own goods again before Britain was the biggest exporter in the world and also had the most factories in the world,i think we also need a rapid increase in miltary personnel i think we need to be like Russia and Usa and be forceful in recruiting soilders more miltary schools academies etc. like the way we used to patrol the oceans of the world and enforce power i could go on forever but i will try and stop i do not think china will make it as a superpwer 1. They are communist.2.In the background America the CIA is destroying there rageme and the CIA have been responsible for many of the coups and overthrowings of heads of states, and could i just state that Russia is not a superpwer search superpower in google and it saids the only country that can actually call themselves a superpower is America and judging a superpower is not judged on nuclear weapons and miltary sizes alone for those of you who do not know Russia has a larger nuclear arsenal than America but America has a larger miltary and it is not likly if any of these the biggest nuclear stockpilers in the world go to war as enemies not likley the will use nuclear arsenals because they all know that both have powerful nuclear wepons and 1 nuclear weapon can do enough damage so quantity does not matte quality does and if they go to war they both know 1 gets nuked both gets nuked than America has war with the worl as Russia is close to Asia and Europe so it would not be smart to nuke them and if they go to war Nato will say F.*U.* C.*k that we are not fighting Russia tha America against the warsaw pact.I also think if the commonwealth started to work more together, we could acheive superpower status easily we have the population in various countries Canada is the second largest country in the world, and Australlia is having more and more immigrants flocking in to work extremeley hard it has the highest number in the world for the population increase,and europe in a whole has higher GDP than america people were saying Europe should enter the G8 G20 etc as one unit do you agree and are EU economy accounts for 31% of the world GDP and rermeber Russia is not part of the EU how do you think we can get Great Britain to be great again.Britain also has a higher GDP than Russia. The Russians are in tons of debt that dates back to the soviet union and jus about 10 year ago halve of Russia's population were living below the poverty line and a large proportion still is, and China is the definition of poverty because there population size is there downfall same as India really but i think India have a chance but will end up going to war with someone in asia i just have a feeling.

Great Britain was only a superpower when it brutally oppressed a majority of the known world. You guys did quite a number on Africa and India, I can assure you that you were far less popular with the world than America ever was. Hell, Stalinist Russia and Imperial Japan were more humane. If you want to be a superpower, you could start by having a diverse economy based on technological achievement rather than playing banker to Europe and the Middle East and importing German, Japanese, and American technology. It would also be good take strong, proactive leadership on international affairs, rather than oscillating back and forth between following poorly thought out American plans and complete inaction like the rest of continental Europe. Just a thought.

Of course you COULD but I don't see it happening any time soon. You won't do what it would take. Britain can become a superpower and rich again by returning to it's political roots - the ones from which sprang-forth "American" tradition. Britain NEVER CONTROLLED 40% of the world's population, they ADMINISTERED it in extremely Republican (classical liberal/libertarian) fashion. That is the key to superpower status and moving away from that model is the reason we're chasing after you to lose ours. You guys are WAY to the left of your position from the time of the Empire's peak. Leftism guarantees you will not be a superpower - not on a sustainable basis, anyway. Not a lot of my countrymen (I'm not sure about yours) realize the "American Revolution" was merely about reclaiming the rights to which our founders had long been accustomed as Englishmen. Local control; self-government - was the central feature of the old empire, wherein the average person was recognized as a citizen, in fact if not officially. Forward to 2009 and you find you are essentially government property. (again, the US is racing to follow you down that path.) Free men make their country a superpower. It really IS that simple. Kman, "when it brutally oppressed a majority of the known world" the Empire's status as a superpower was already in decline.

It's hard to read a big block of text and I only read a few lines. We have the potential to become a super power and we still have a big punch for our size. We should leave the EU to save £40 million a day and use it on our own country. The Commonwealth have a faster economic growth rate than the EU so we should improve our trade relations with them. Then we need to start manufacturing products and export them. The government need to take a step back and let British businesses grow instead of preventing them from growing by increasing taxes.
