3. Why Europe?
Europe’s political system, which was composed of many small and highly competitive states, favored innovation.
Also, the relative newness of European states and their monarchs’ desperate need for revenue in the absence of an effective tax-collecting bureaucracy pushed European royals into an unusual alliance with their merchant classes, resulting in an unusual degree of freedom from state control and a higher social status for merchants than in more established civilizations.
Globally, Europe after 1500 became the hub of the largest and most varied network of exchange in the world, which generated extensive change and innovation and stimulated European commerce.
The conquest of the Americas allowed Europeans to draw disproportionately on world resources and provided a growing market (from colonies) for European machine-produced goods.
