Why
As the population grew, people started moving and forming cities, which increased the demand for products. Banks also began growing and encouraged people to take investment risks. Another factor that contributed to the start of the Industrial Revolution was improved methods of transportation. Improved transportation methods allowed industries to transport goods to other parts of the world.
