[QUOTE=Native Hunter;45604522]Id have to agree with you there, Id think that it was because Britiain had so much coal that that is why it was there that the industrial revolution sparked[/QUOTE]
there were a lot lot more reasons, but i'll list the general ideas people have put forward:
1: longterm developments in trade and commerce, with britain already having major financial institutions such as banks, stock exchanges, etc by the 18th century, along with capitalism
2: extensive coal and iron deposits
3: a longterm trend since the middle ages to favour the development of labour saving machinery
4: an excellent position off the continent to be relatively free from conflict and suited to naval activities
5: the protestant work ethic
6: extensive focus into the working of metallurgy while having a high cost of wood, forcing the development of alternatives for charcoal (coke)
7: lack of wealthy agricultural lands, forcing increased investment into the land and labour to bring higher returns
8: english marriage and familial practices whereby they married late, had few children, and land tenure was inherited, a practice which encourages land consolidation and increased investment for future generations
9: extensive opportunities for transport by sea or internal waters, and the relative ease of connecting up localities with canals and later railways
10: a liberal economic and political system, whereby the monarch was held in check by a nobility, with a large landed gentry and merchantry having the freedom to pursue commercial activities and not have their wealth confiscated or spent on soldiers
11: extensive population growth and urbanisation that allowed for the pooling of labour, capital, and knowledge in major centres and thus could fund or think of new enterprises
12: the philosophical legacy of the past, which eventually lead to the creation of modern science and the development of enlightenment philosophies that would result in many new inventions, discoveries, political and social institutions or reforms

HEY YOU GUYS
[QUOTE=Telepethi;45604567]Geacron is retarded then. The Spanish never claimed nor colonized it. The British did.
The Spanish didn't think it was worth it because the natives were too pissy and there wasn't enough resources (see: gold)
[editline]5th August 2014[/editline]
Haha jesus. 7 failed attempts to take a shitty colony they didn't even want in the first place.
Git gud Spain
[editline]5th August 2014[/editline]
Not really. They considered it a "Colony" but never actually settled it. The British and Baymen Pirates settled it in spite of this fact.

What do you not understand about "Stop talking to me"?
I do not know you and at this point I don't care to.[/QUOTE]
Ah the British, always thinking so highly of themselves, being so naive. You're lucky Austria doesn't dislike you just yet.
But keep it up and soon you may not even be speaking at all.

[B][U]Turns are due by this Friday [/U][/B]
My turn won't be in until probably like an hour. Sorry it's so late, have been busy and not enough time to finish it now.
[editline]5th August 2014[/editline]
Ah good, Friday.
So I have the following turns:
The Swiss Republic
Poland Lithuania
England
Quing China
Who's the Swiss?
Also,a minor thing, Spain didn't actually own all of Louisiana, it had Claim to the majority of it and mostly ownly owned what is now the state of Louisiana.

it was like the situation where colonial powers claimed native land, and since native americans weren't world powers, at least in the great plains, They weren't even considered sovreign

Well, I stand corrected. Although to be honest, Upper Louisiana barely had any settlements.

It should be one of the ones with only text and a black background because the ISIS is strong in it.

Also what should I name the American faction I'll be playing as?
