Proto-Industrialization was the era during the 18th Century that influenced industrialism in England. It was the development of the economic and industrial system. 

The conditions that influenced the proto-industrialization in England were: 

(i) The demand for trade grew in the countryside, which led to eventual modernization of the industry and  economy. 

(ii) As the land for the peasants was not sufficient, they moved towards the industry.

(iii) The condition for the peasants deteriorated while the conditions for the merchants improved. By this, the peasants took employment with the merchants. Some changed their professions as well. 

(iv) Merchants provided loans to the peasants in order to increase their production for international trade. 

(v) New production was made in factories.

Answer:

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, merchants

from the towns in Europe began moving to the

countryside, supplying money to peasants and

artisans, persuading them to produce for an

international market. With the expansion of

world trade and the acquisition of colonies in

different parts of the world, the demand for goods

began growing. But merchants could not expand

production within the cities. This was because

here urban crafts and trade guilds were powerful

and prevented the entry of merchants.

During the 18th century this was a time when

open fields were disappearing. Cottagers and poor

peasants who had earlier depended on common

lands for their survival, gathering their firewood,

berries, vegetables, hay and straw, had to now look

for alternative sources of income. Many had tiny

plots of land which could not provide work for all

members of the household. So when merchants

came around and offered advances to produce

goods for them, peasant households eagerly

agreed to take up the work.

This also provided extra income that supplemented

their meagre income from small fields.
