The British Empire is the reason for the standards of living now. The luxurious living, our Interdependence with other countries for trade. The Industrial revolution defeated the need to do work by hand by creating new machinery and sources of power to run them. We do not have to work as hard as in the 19th century and we now have a strong sense of power. Women can vote and do the jobs that only men used to.
