  16. Why was trade alone, not enough for the Industrial Revolution and Imperialism? • The Industrial Revolution brought on: • Imperialism and the need for resources and new land. This need, sparked European exploration and colonization of the world. • Competition among nations also played a key part in the “quest for power.” (626 Spodek) A.Amis

  17. Why didn’t China Keep Up with Western European Powers? • Europe surpassed china economically and militarily in the mid 14th century because: • China began to fill up with resources and people so, commerce with the outside world decreased. • Philosophy became introspective, less concerned with engaging practical problems. • Most of the gains that china received were eaten up by the growing population. They were in a “Quantitative growth, qualitative standstill.” (479 Spodek) A.Amis

  18. Why didn’t Europe end up on the same path as China? • Europe was going in the same direction as China: “Labor intensive with few incentives and fewer resources to create innovations for improving productivity” but turned around after discovering more fossil fuels (coal) and the “New World.” • The new world, with its uncharted lands and resources, served as a place to put their excess population, had very productive land, and great quantities of gold and silver.
