The years 1837-1901 saw many changes. The invention and development of the telegraph, telephone, car, motor bike, railway and ships boosted Victorian England to the most powerful trading nation in the world. Their engines and inventions were sold on every free trade continent in the world. Many jobs were created to help move these items across the globe.
