Q1: What was special about the reign of Queen Victoria?

[Answer]

The Victorians are people who lived in the lands ruled by Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria was one of the longest reigning monarchs. She reigned from when she was little more than a girl in 1837 to her death as an old lady in 1901.

During this time Britain became called 'the workshop of the world' and it was at the centre of an empire larger than any the world had ever seen.
