Well, along time ago, before we had all the new fly by night purse stealing money grubbing preachers, we had the Holy Roman Catholic Church. We also had this nice King Henry the 8Th.\nNow old Henry loved to party, drive his Maserati and just have a good time, but the problem was his WIFE.  She wasn't going to have it in HER house, so she continually nagged him, locked him out of the house, took his keys, and wouldn't let him have any money for beer.  So old Henry got pissed off one day and called the POPE and asked for a DIVORCE. Pope said "Cant happen, you gotta stay married to the B---H forever cause that's the rule".\nWell Henry didn't like that answer, so he went back home and laid down (without his wife) cause she went to stay at her girlfriends house for the night, and thought about what he should do.  Well low and behold he came up with a bright idea,  "I still love drinking wine, singing hymns, and eating those crackers, but I hate this NO DIVORCE rule, So I'm going to make me a church with different rules" and so started the Church of England (Protestant) and Henry got his divorce and lived happily ever after and a Bunch of wives later.

This is quite complicated.  The History Channel has a good show on this topic called Julius Caesar's Rome, which tells about the rise and fall of the roman empire.  \n\nCheck this site for a brief history:

Birmingham and Manchester are good starts. Both contributed greatly to the Industrial Revolution in GB. The Canal system was a major contributing factor.

1377, from Anglo-Norm. brocour "small trader," \nfrom Anglo-Fr. abrokur "retailer of wine, tapster," \nperhaps Port. alborcar "barter," but more likely O.Fr. brocheor, from brochier "to broach, tap, pierce (a keg)," from broche "pointed tool" (see broach (n.)), giving original sense of "wine dealer," hence "retailer, middleman, agent."

MEDIEVAL ECONOMICS\n\nThe people of the former Roman province of Britain in the 5th and 6th Centuries had to make their living in difficult circumstances. Around them lay the ruins of imperial grandeur. In the cities, public buildings and private houses were in decay; on the frontiers, the forts were abandoned; in the country, the aristocratic villas were crumbling. This was not just a matter of physical decline or political change because as the Roman state was dismantled, so roads, bridges and ports were neglected, the coinage disappeared, government spending ceased and the elite of the armed forces and civil administration were no longer employing labor or consuming goods on a large scale. Trade dwindled and the former mass-producing industries collapsed. The native British population faced major upheavals in their way of life, including unemployment and a breakdown in law and order. The German immigrants from across the North Sea, who had been attracted by the opulence of the province, had to adapt to a changing society. \n\nWithout trade, easy communications or imperial government, the cities could not provide a living for a large population and almost everyone lived in the countryside. Here again they had no alternative but to adapt to a restricted economy. Apart from problems of security there would be no more large surpluses to be sold in the towns. The villas were taken over by succeeding generations of native British or Anglo-Saxon immigrants who put up buildings of wood. In some cases the territory around the villa persisted as an estate unit and the owners obtained tribute from the local peasants. \n\nThe priority of country-dwellers lay in providing for their own subsistence. In southern and eastern England they lived in timber houses often measuring 15 by 30 feet, associated with smaller structures with sunken floors built for storage, craft work (such as weaving) and accomodations for servants and dependants. \n\nEven in the reduced circumstances of the post-Roman recession, households could not meet all of their consumption requirements from their own resources. They wove their own cloth and no doubt built their own houses and made implements from wood. But they needed iron weapons and farming tools and women wore ornate jewelry manufactured from copper alloy. These could only be supplied by specialists with crfating skills and raw materials so some surpluses from the land were exchanged. \n\nA society with an emphasis on production for use and which had limited facilities for exchange was not likely to be deeply stratified. Elites collected foodstuffs from the peasants in some form but they had limited ways of disposing of goods once they satisfied their followers. While the people of 5th and 6th Century England adapted successfully to their post-imperial world, this was still a traumatic process. The losses of population far outweighed the gains from migration partly as a result of plague epidemics in the 6th Century, but more as uncertainties and the lack of economic opportunity discouraged marriage and child-rearing. We can only make an educated guess at the overall figures but the sparsity of settlements, the abandonment of towns and the retreat of cultivation could point to at least halving the population. Thus numbers fell from a peak of perhaps 5 million in the 2nd Century to less than 2 million by 600 AD.

labor supply\nfuel  supply\nraw materials\nmarket demand\ninvention\ncapitalistic economic system tolerated and fostered by government ( laws to protect industry)\n\nthis is why england dominated during the early stages of industrial revolution. \nthey had many young men and no need for a standing army so they could work in factories.\n\nthey had a great navy which helped them conquer other countries to get raw materials and bring them home\n\nthey had a great fuel supply from all the coal in newcastle\n\nthey got rid of the catholic church so attracted scientists and had better schools not hampered by religious doctrine. this led to many new inductrial inventions for farming and manufacturing\n\nthey had good markets from surrounding countries but also from the countries they conquered and controlled, such as india, forcing them to buy their textiles made from indian cotton in english mills.\nAny place with these factors of production present will prosper.\nCommunist countries usually flounder.  ( no incentive)  Too religious countries usually flounder.

Mostly opportunity. Italy was heavily populated and had few jobs at all. Employment was the main concern.

This is a document writtne in 1215 by Archbishop Stephen Langton. It was a powerful charter, esentially a constitution that dictated a lawful means of interaction between the King and the fuedal lords of the land. It's intent was to prevent oppression from the king, and to protect the surfs and laymen of the country. It laid the ground work for common law. It provided the right for all to have access to the courts despite the costs involved with trials. War broke out and King John lost his lands in France. To overcome this burden, John raised taxes without the consent of the fuedal barrons. this was a breach of the charter and the Magna Carta's powere unfortunately flamed out. With war still going strong King John subsequently died leaving the throne to his 9 year old son Henry the III.
