European countries sold them antique guns and ammunition , the Ashante empire accepted many riffles to equip their armies but they had bad aim and their weapons were always out of date compared to the European armies . Even with these set backs they were still able to defeat many British armies that rose against them, in 1824 they were victorious against the British army in the Pra river that was led by Sir Charles McCarthy. Mr McCarthy believed that he had the upper hand because he was numerically larger but the Ashantes ambush strategies got them to victory. (Warfare History blog, 2013) What was collected in the industrial revolution? Coal was a major factor into the transition into the industrial revolution Britain was very fortunate to have plenty that could be easily mined.( BBC,2013).This allowed Britain to have easy access to fuel helping them to push through into this new age. Most of the mines were located near the sea this meant that it was easy to transport the coal in land because of the nearby ports. The demand for this mineral led to deeper mines, this had the increase risk of flooding. (BBC, 2013). Inventors Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb 1879, he had many inventions but his most memorable are the phonograph, the light bulb , the kinetographic Camera.( Business Insider,2013).
