Detailed Solution

Britain was given the title of "the workshop of the world" because of the flourishing iron and steel industry, and the industrial revolution further encouraged the development of industrial-based products. Because of mechanized cotton textile manufacturing, Britain was the world's premier industrial nation. When Britain's iron and steel industries began to flourish in the 1850s, they gained the title "the world's workshop." The industrial revolution aided the establishment of Britain's first industrial and consumer-based civilization in the nineteenth century, which generated half of the world's industrial-made goods on its own. Because Britain produced all of the world's products between the 1750s and the 1870s, other European countries referred to it as the "global workshop." The entire world relied on high-quality British goods during Queen Victoria's reign.
