Britain's industrial revolution destroyed the British peasantry, whereas in France the small peasantry lasted longer. As a result, France was able to develop faster than Great Britain.
False. The industrial revolution in Britain did lead to significant social and economic changes, including the decline of the traditional peasantry. However, it also led to significant economic growth and technological advancements that helped Britain become a leading industrial power in the world. France also experienced industrialization and economic growth, but did not surpass Britain in terms of development during this period.
