The term mouse fly is kind of a contradiction and one of the types of flies that brings the word fly in fly fishing almost as far away from something flying as possible - still surpassed by shrimp flies not to mention crab flies, but anyway...
One of the reasons Britain became rich was because the Industrial Revolution (factories and such) got off the ground there sooner. Britain had a large navy, and many colonies in other parts of the world, such as India, and Rhodesia.
Britain was the first site of the industrial revolution. Britain  became the workshop of the world through the Enclosure movement,  Textiles, Better Transportation, canals, â¦ railroads, ect. Many other  factors contributed to Britain success.s the size of cities increased, so did the demand for consumer products. As a result, entrepreneurs and inventors were more than happy to meet consumer demand. Once mass production was introduced, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing.
