For now, focus on the places that immediately start trying to copy Great Britain first…

Historical Development
The rapid development of steam-powered industrial production in European countries and the U.S. contributed to the increase in these regions’ share of global manufacturing during the first Industrial Revolution. While Middle Eastern and Asian countries continued to produce manufactured goods, these regions’ share in global manufacturing declined. Decline of Middle Eastern and Asian share in global manufacturing. For example, shipbuilding in India and Southeast Asia; iron works in India; or textile production in India and Egypt. As new methods of industrial production became more common in parts of northwestern Europe, they spread to other parts of Europe and the United States, Russia, and Japan.
