how did Britain,s involvement in wars from 1793 and 1815 affect British industries?

 Britain,s involvement in wars from 1793 and 1815 greatly affected its economy. Factories shut down and trade came to a standstill. Due to shutdown of factories workers became jobless and there was unemployment. There was no capital formation and possibility of reinvestment during the war period.

Britain had to borrow capital for carrying out its expenses during war. The prices of commodities also shoot up.
