The British (1714-1815) refers to British culture and society during the period from the accession of George I, and the House of Hanover in 1714, to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.  This was a period of great change, particularly in the rapid development of industry and the growth of cities. The technological and social changes in food production increased the wealth of the aristocracy and created many landless poor forced to look for work in cities. During this period of imperial expansion, Britain was involved in many conflicts around the globe.
