Most of the significant changes that characterized nineteenth-century Britain took place, however, under Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Her reign was the longest in the British history, which is why it came to be known as the Victorian age.
Victoria's reign coincided with Britain's greatest period as a world power. The British Empire expanded and reached its climax in the later half of the nineteenth century. Victoria was queen of the United Kingdom and Ireland, but she also was the official head of an empire that included Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand, and large parts of Africa.
