The Victorian Age heralded a vast expansion of empires, increased Imperialism, and more social mobility due to new money that came about as a result of Industrialization. It was a sexually repressive time, enforced by strict social codes. A sense of gentile charity and social responsibility were juxtaposed against the virulent racism and arrogance of Social Darwinism.
A huge outpouring of energy and optimism, as Britain took its place as Workshop of the World, keen to teach distant colonies the right way to run things - and to make a little profit out of it as well, of course.
By the time Victoria died, millions had learned to read and write, and had moved into well-run cities with good public transport and hygiene. Everyone had the vote, and a married woman's property no longer belonged automatically to her husband.
Queen Victoria was crowned in 1837 and was first to start the victorian era. She also had the longest reign. Many attempts were made on her life. There was also the Crimean War in Russia which created a lot of homelessness.
