How did the scientific revolution, industrial revolution and political revolution make the west dominate?

1 the scientific revolution improved Europeans' understanding of the world at that time. Scientific revolution is a qualitative leap in human understanding of the objective world, which will inevitably have a great impact on human social practice. The positive impact of the scientific revolution on society is manifested in two aspects. On the one hand, on the basis of new scientific theories, new technologies, new production tools and new processes have been invented, thus making social productive forces develop to a new stage. On the other hand, the new scientific thought, new scientific thinking mode and new scientific spirit bred by the scientific revolution, as a huge cultural force, have a profound impact on people's spiritual life and social and cultural progress. In the history of human social development, scientific revolution is often the pioneer of social revolution. From then on, the thinking of Europeans is different from that of people all over the world, in other words, it is too high. The industrial revolution is an important stage in the history of European capitalism, which has realized an important transformation from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society. In production technology, it makes machines replace manual labor; Factories have replaced manual workshops. (For example, after the Industrial Revolution, the iron production in Britain increased from 50,000 tons in 1770 to 130 tons in 1800, while the iron production in the Qing Dynasty was less than half that in the late Ming Dynasty. Political revolution is a powerful driving force for social development and political progress. The political revolution not only makes a country make a qualitative leap from the old social form to the new social form, but also accelerates a country's progress and completes a journey that cannot be completed in ordinary environment for decades or even hundreds of years in a few years. Political revolution can not only update the political system and environment, promote political development and progress, but also improve people's ideological and political consciousness, update people's values and moral standards, thus promoting human development and progress. For example, the total industrial output value of the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union after the revolution exceeded that of the Russian Empire before the revolution)
