THE VICTORIAN AGE

We talked about the Victorian Age in the course. This period was between 1830 and 1901. Victoria was queen in this period and she had the longest reign in British history. She was elegant and confident. Also, she was the first woman who wore wedding dress. It is very surprising for me. She governed the country successfully and the British Empire began to grow. British Empire expanded to Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Africa, New Zealand, Kenya, India and Hong Kong. Therefore, other countries said “The sun never sets on England” for British Empire. Besides these improvements, they imported raw materials and exported finished goods. British Empire was the wealthiest country in the world thanks to them. Moreover, political and social reforms which included The Second Reform Act, Trade Union Act and The Third Reform Act. The women began to vote. So, British Empire was the most brilliant period. Unlike these good things; pollution increased because of industrialism, everywhere was unhygienic and there was epidemic diseases like cholera, typhoid.
