In this episode we explore all the factors that contributed to the start of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain from around the 1700's. We go beyond the notion that industrialization started in Britain because they had the natural resources of coal, iron and water. We draw on the work of the historian Patrick Allitt.

In this episode we try to define the study of history and discuss the approach we follow in our teaching, i.e. not just learning history but doing it. We also consider what makes for a good historical argument. Here we draw on the work of Sam Wineburg.
