>>12334814List of things invented in that time
>Modern firearms (revolvers and rifles)>Cannons>Engines, allowing for powered steamships and trains>Democracy & parliament>Industrialisation & the concept of jobs other than farmer or soldier>Imperialism, allowing your very country to exist alongside many others>Countless mapping expeditions allowing for navigation.>Early mechanisation which would later become computers and tanks.You claiming nothing was invented in this time is simply ridiculous, the only reasons that so many inventions were made in the 19th and 20th centuries were the countless imperial wars being fought, the most major being WW1 and WW2, with other notable wars including the Crimean war (beginning of the end of cavalry) and the Boer wars (beginning of guerilla warfare).
Might I add you have Primarily the British and secondarily the French, Germans and Americans to thank for 100% of modern technologies. All Christian nations, incidentally.
