Expand the relationship between the industrial revolution and the active colonial and foreign policy of England in the first half of the 19th century.

The industrial revolution made it possible to switch from manual labor to machine labor. This made it possible to produce more products, increase exports, and improve the economic situation of the country. An active foreign policy required resources that came from the development of industry and trade. The colonies were sources of raw materials, sales markets, which made it possible to ensure industrial production and develop it further.
