Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The enclosure ended feudal farming practices!. Land owners fenced off their land and stopped the farmers from working on land they had considered theirs!.
The agrarian revolution, combined with the enclosures, created rural unemployment, a wealthy land-owning class, and the climate for innovation and the capital to invest in new technologies!. This helped fuel the industrial revolution!. The unemployed could find work in the new factories!. The Land-owners, who had the money, could invest in the new industries, and entrepreneurs were able to develop their ideas!.
Britain has several key resources that fed the industrial revolution; a stable political landscape, the manpower, money generated from the agrarian revolution, water - to power the mills and easy to obtain coal to power the (later) factories and mills!.
Parents accepted child labour because without the money that children brought into the family they could starve, there was no state help or schools for children, so they were a financial burden until they could earn their keep!.
The ultimate result of imperialism between European counties was the hell that was WWI!. But there were many other conflicts, disagreements and wars before WWI - see the Scramble For Africa, the Great Game the Balkans conflicts and the Franco-Prussian War!.
