Question

Why is the period between 1750- 1900 called as a period of big change in Britain? (5 marks)

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1883, the historian Arnold Toynbee suggested that in the years between 1750 and 1839 there was an Agricultural and Industrial Revolution in Britain. Many historians now challenge this idea and they put the turning point much earlier, and suggest that change was much more gradual than Toynbee said.

Nevertheless, the years after 1750 were a time of great change. The developments in industry were linked with the growth of the British Empire.
