Non-industrialized parts of the world played crucial roles in the Industrial Revolution primarily as sources of raw materials and markets for finished goods. Colonies and regions rich in resources like cotton, rubber, and minerals supplied the burgeoning industries of Europe and North America. Additionally, these areas served as markets for the surplus products manufactured in industrialized nations, facilitating economic expansion and the spread of industrialization. This dynamic often resulted in exploitative practices and significant social and economic changes in the non-industrialized regions.
