Question

the u.s. industrial revolution reduced reliance on this countrys goods, allowing america to produce its own textiles and compete globally. which country was this? britain japan france canada

Explanation:

Before the U.S. Industrial Revolution, America relied on Britain for many goods, especially textiles. The Industrial Revolution in the U.S. enabled America to develop its own textile - manufacturing capabilities. Britain was a major global power in textile production before the U.S. Industrial Revolution. Japan's industrialization (Meiji Restoration - late 19th century) was later than the U.S. Industrial Revolution (early - mid 19th century). France had its own industrial development, but it was not the main country that the U.S. was initially dependent on for textiles in the context of the U.S. Industrial Revolution. Canada, at that time, was more of a raw - material provider and had a different economic relationship with the U.S.

Answer:

Britain
