Why the west was the first to industrialize?

I think you got your education in comic books and by reading the bathroom walls. The English built Stonehenge accurately moving colossal stones 300 miles and uphill, to accurately chart the positions of stars and planets, using nothing but deer antlers and their massively intelligent brains. Now this is a great honor also to the Norsemen they traded ideas, and DNA with, like wave after wave of Germanic Tribes. Have you heard of German Engineering? A German is just a Brit who has not yet gone to Ireland to get some strange stuff. Furthermore, peewee, did you ever hear of the Roman Empire that rose from the Greek Empire. Rome took over England for 100 years, injecting into them, literally, brilliant minds. By that time concrete a Greek technology was reinvented, and war technology arrived from China via Rome, and the Arabic Number system arrived, and the English assimilated all knowledge and technology so GOD ( Elohim or Allah to you ) decided to let England breed
with the entire planet, so they did, and the sun never sets on the British
Empire, because they are so smart they control all diamonds on the planet, because they love to breed. Women like diamonds, so the English keep a 50 year supply in vaults, so they can always westernize any nation, or industrialize it ... or reduce it to dust, depending on their mood.

TimeTravel does write a lot of bollocks, doesn't he?

If you follow the concept of the title of this thread

With all due respect, the "English" had nothing whatever to do with building Stonehenge. That was the work of the Britons, a Celtic people who inhabited the island they called Pridaiin long before the Romans got there and renamed it Britania. The Britons practiced a Druidic tradition (about which we, frankly, know ****-all). The so-called "English" were not exactly welcomed to the island which now bears their name -- England. A Celtic chieftain (a dux bellorum or 'warlord' in Latin), whom we are plased to call King Arthur today fought the "English" with an iron will. He didn't succeed, but that's another story.

Probably the first linear and continuous assembly process of post-Renaissance times were the Portsmouth Block Mills built between 1801 and 1803. Marc Isambard Brunel (father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel), with the help of Henry Maudslay and others, designed 22 types of machine tools to make the parts for the blocks used by the Royal Navy. This factory was so successful it remained in use until the 1960s, with the workshop still visible at HM Dockyard in Portsmouth, and still containing some of the original machinery.
