Detailed Solution

Richard Arkwright is credited with the invention of the cotton mill.

Richard Arkwright was constructing a cotton mill in England at the same time, and was the first to do so successfully.

Everything altered as a result of this iconic establishment. Extensive cotton imports, initiatives to maximise labour productivity, and mechanisation of the spinning and weaving operations.
