If 18th-century France had possessed abundant, cheap coal reserves similar to Britain's, it would have inevitably undergone an industrial revolution at the same time.
Consider a hypothetical 18th-century nation with vast colonial territories that provide both cheap raw materials and large markets for its goods. However, unlike Britain during the same period, this nation has a very large population, resulting in extremely low labor costs, while its energy sources are scarce and expensive. Based on the economic conditions that spurred early industrialization, what would be the most likely outcome for this nation's manufacturing sector?
