Britain's vast overseas emnire was now as much a consumer of British manufactured goods as it was a supplier ot 15rltaln's raw materials. Steampowered ships made the world a smaller place in the same way that railroads had shrunk the British Isles. Bulk cargoes were now easily moved around the globe, and wealth poured into London and the commercial ports in western Britain. By rough estimates, the per capita wealth of England tripled from 1801 to 1851, a remarkable growth considering that the population doubled.
9. Victorian Era
Queen Victoria ruled Britain from 1837 to 1901. Her reign was the longest of any monarch in British history and came to he known as the Victorian era. As embodied by the monarchy, this era was represented by such 19th-century ideals as devotion to family life, public and private responsibility, and obedience to the law. Under Victoria, the British Empire expanded, and Britain became an increasingly powerful nation.
