The industrial revolution led to great prosperity but also gave to great poverty and horrible living condition due to the over crowding of cities that were growing because of industrialization. This revolution gave the push for british and other european countries to dominate world trade. The british had superior naval force which allowed them to build an empire spanning 25% of the worlds land mass. This feat is amazing considering britain is a small island nation but it countrolled large area such as modern day india and australia. This conquering led to a extreme belief that the british is superior to every other race which led to a feeling of nationalism. This change in beliefs led great change in british society. This change can be clearly seen in the the cites of britian because of the industrial revolution woman were thought of as house wives instead but the poor folk had thier whole famlies working in horrible conditions in factories that led to british superiority.
