How did Britain change during queen Victoria's reign?

Answer 1

1. Britain became the most powerful country in the world, with the largest empire that had ever existed, ruling a quarter of the world's population.

2. The number of people living in Britain more than doubled, causing a huge demand for food, clothes and housing.

3. Factories and machines were built to meet this demand and new towns grew up, changing the landscape and the ways people lived and worked.
4. Railways, originally built to transport goods, meant people could travel easily around the country for the first time.
