The political changes in each of these countries varied, but all of them were impacted in ways that changed the political landscape on a large scale.

- Great Britain: industrialization expanded the electorate (Reform Acts), strengthened parliamentary democracy, and produced organized labor and socialist movements pressing for reforms.
- Japan: Meiji-era industrialization centralized state power, abolished feudal domains, created a modern bureaucracy and army, and produced a constitutional monarchy and rapid political modernization.
- Germany: industrialization helped finance and justify unification under Bismarck, strengthened the authoritarian-welfare-state model, and spurred the growth of the Social Democratic Party and labor politics.
