    The first country to industrialize in continental Europe was Belgium.

    Explanation:

    Industrialization took place in different waves in different countries. The first industrial areas appeared in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century, extending to Belgium and France at the beginning of the 19th century and to Germany and the United States in the middle of the century, to Japan from 1868 and to Russia, Italy and Spain at the end of the century.

    The first continental country to follow the British example was Belgium, which opened its first two railway lines (Brussels-Mechelen and Mechelen-Antwerp) in 1835. The first year they transported 70,000 passengers. The cost was very low and the Brussels-Antwerp ticket cost only a franc.
