Industrialization in Britain began in the late 18th century, focusing on textiles, while the U.S. started in the early 19th century with a more diverse range of industries. Both saw urbanization and changes in labor, but differed in government roles and timing. These differences and similarities shaped their respective economic and social landscapes.
