the rise and fall of colonialism and the industrial revolution changed just about everything.
We lost the first Empire, gained a second, started the industrial revolution and become the biggest imperial superpower ever to grace the planet. If it existed as it was then, today, it would still be the biggest.
Ireland joined (or was forced) in 1801, and Great Britain became The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Hey that's my history homework!
Britain changed a lot. Transportation is more common today than before. There were no road before. and now everywhere you look, there are roads.
Industrial revolution, imperialism (loss of America, but consolidation of the Empire further afield) and technological change are the most often mentioned. With the defeat of Napoleon, Britain finally stopped focussing on France as her traditional enemy and set her sights elsewhere. It was a period in which Britain consciously moved toward reform without the revolutions that America and France had used to modernize their states. Of course, Britain had already had a revolution in the seventeenth century.
The Regency is a really interesting period of transition between the Georgian era and the Victorian; it's worth looking at the Romantics to get a feeling for that age.
Britain became less agricultural (like the ideal picture you get in 'The Vicar of Wakefield') and became more industrial and urbanized (Charles Dickens). In connection with that, there were big changes in government and the country became far more democratic. 1829 Catholic emancipation, 1832 Reform Act, 1870 education reform, etc. The whole nineteenth century was punctuated by a succession of reform laws. The Whigs and Tories gradually evolved into modern political parties on the backs of these laws, especially the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846 which opened up trade.
Also the old aristocracy began a long slow decline, admitting more wealthy industrialists to its ranks. Linda Colley claims that this period was when the British developed a national identity.
