Which Statement ISN'T a Reason for the Industrial Revolution?

The answer is D. The capitalist class became the most important force in the country.

While the rise of capitalism played a significant role in shaping the Industrial Revolution, it wasn't a direct cause of it. Here's why the other options were contributing factors:

• A. Britain had a huge market domestically and internationally. This widespread demand for goods fueled the need for increased production, which the Industrial Revolution facilitated. * B. England acquired from its colonies enormous wealth with which to develop its industry. Colonial resources and profits provided capital for investment in new technologies and factories.* C. The enclosure movement deprived many small landowners of their property. This displacement created a large pool of available labor for factories in urban areas.

In essence, while the dominance of the capitalist class was an effect of the Industrial Revolution, it wasn't one of the initial sparks that ignited it.
