Victorian era overview- important changes she made to Britain.
1837-1901
Up until recently, Queen Victoria was the longest reigning
monarch of all time, and during this time, she managed to do so much for our
country. Britain built a huge empire during the victorian era, which is what
makes it such a famous era. The industrial revolution meant that most people
went from living and working on the land, to working in towns and cities in big
factories. This quickly made Britain the wealthiest and most powerful country in
the world. Because of all these new job opportunities, Britains population went
from 16 to 37 million, which resulted in new towns and homes being built. Due
to all of these changes, the police force was formed.
Travel was made a lot easier, too. Railways were invented to
move food and other goods. During Victoria’s reign, railways became a form of
public transport,too. As a result, ‘sea-side’ holidays became popular for the
first time! All in all, Queen Victoria created an empire which held so many opportunities
for the people of Britain.
