Victoria, the grand daughter of George III, was a young girl of eighteen when she came to the throne. At that time, there was much discontent among the prople because of unemployment, low wages and long hours of work.

By the end of Victoria's reign, all men had the right to vote in elections and sit in Parliament. During the Victorian Age, Britain made great progress in industry and became the richest and most powerful country in the world.
