Chapter 18 Part 1

The beginning of this chapter is all about industrialization! The chapter asks first, "Why Europe?" And then goes on to ask more specifically, "Why Britain?" This was something that I was always wondering and what I actually realized was that there were a lot of other countries that flourished in technological advances before Europe caught wind of the whole thing. When Europe began to pick up the pace industrially, other places like India and China were beginning to slow down. And I think history books need to emphasize other countries more often and stop kind of being so Eurocentric.
