Answer 2

Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain.

• The transition to new manufacturing processes in Great Britain, continental Europe, and the United States occurred between about 1760 and 1820 in the period known as the Industrial Revolution.

The availability of cheap skilled labour is not responsible for the shift of the cotton textile industry from the USA and Europe to the cotton-growing areas.

Before the British rule, Calico was the main variety of Indian handloom cloth.

• Calico is a term used to describe an unbleached, unfinished cotton fabric.

Flying Shuttle was not invented in England (Great Britain).

• One year before its purported invention in England, Flying Shuttle appears to have been invented in the Languedoc region of southern France.
