The most striking examples are nations that failed to develop or adopt military technology and thereby were defeated in wars against an opponent with more advanced technologies.
The best example is the Battle of Gravelines where the British developed faster more powerful, more defensible and better armed ships than the Spanish.
The American Civil War provides an example of one society that adopted industrialism against a society that maintained their agricultural based economy.
