  7. 1840s+ European uprisings failed b/c: • 1) Rulers’ use of military • 2) Lack of support from the masses • 3) Lack of a unified struggle

  9. Starts in Britain…why? • Factors of Production: - Land - Natural resources; coal, iron ore, rivers, transportation - Labor – increased population, landless poor -factories-low wages, honorable for middle class to go into business - Capital - $, tools, equipment, rich investors - Other factors - colonies, navy, Parliament passes protective laws
