• (i) Supply merchants linked the port towns to inland regions. They gave advances to weavers, procured woven cloth from weaving villages and carried the supply to the ports . 

• (ii) European companies gaining power and securing monopoly rights to trade. European trading companies ventured across the oceans so as to look new lands from where they could buy goods at a cheap price, and carry them back to Europe to sell at higher price . The fine qualities of cotton and silk produced in India had a big market in Europe.

• (iii) The American Civil War. The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states.

•  (iv) Introduction of the fly shuttle in handloom weaving. The flying shuttle was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution . It allowed a single weaver to weave much wider fabrics, and it could be mechanized, allowing for automatic machine looms.
