Explanation:

England possessed a series of favorable characteristics that made it the ideal place for the development of the Industrial Revolution.  In general terms, these characteristics were related to the social conditions of Britain's population, the economic possibilities, and even the natural resources available.  England was the world's industrial pioneer due to the combination of several favorable characteristics.  On the one hand the country possessed the capital for investing in new means of production, but it also had a considerable workforce.  England had already begun to revolutionize the textile industry on a small scale with the domestic system and the government saw the potential of furthering industrial investments.

In addition, England had abundant natural resources and markets to sell finished products, along with a functional system of rivers and ports to transport manufactured goods.
