The development of the British Empire
The defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo seemed to be good fortune for the British. Before this conflict, the British had no plans to establish a strong empire that would bother people all over the world.
The British saw Waterloo as a national victory. What was worthy of remembering in poetry, songs, stations, and street music was the official exaltation of British principles.
The British victory at the Battle of Waterloo not only strengthened Great Britain's ambitions and produced a thriving economic climate that ushered in the Victorian era but was also evaluated as one of the best significance of the battle of Waterloo.
Following Napoleon's defeat, the British took the initiative in peace negotiations and gained control of a few international areas ( Tobago, Martinique, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the Dutch East Indies). The British empire evolved as a result of the expansion.
