The story of Victorian Britain is one of invention, inequality, empire, and revolution. This video reveals how the Industrial Revolution and global empire turned a small island nation into the most powerful force on Earth—while also creating deep social divisions, sweeping reforms, and groundbreaking ideas that still shape our world today. From Queen Victoria’s unexpected rise to the brutal realities of factory life, and from the fight for women’s rights to the legacy of imperial conquest, this is the untold story of how the 19th century gave birth to the modern age.
Discover the people, movements, and moments that transformed how we live, work, dress, learn—and who gets a voice in society.

Im' very interesting with this story, hope U more success!
The way a nation has treated their own is not far fetched how they treated other nations and now live off that wealth that they imposed from their way of lives
Sounds like what they are doing to Palestine
Video is ab fab. Thanks!
Absolutely everything is AI-generated here. The section on the Irish famine is just insulting. If you're going to discuss an event like this, then you could do it the justice of depicting it properly. The images look like Irish farmers carrying around dinosaur eggs. Have any of the editors of this ever actually seen a potato? They aren't this size and they certainly weren't when hit by the blight. Rubbish.
We are still stupid then and corrupt as we should live in our era not the Victorian old era. 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
History repeating itself again to this day… Same tactics
Straight garbage I guess morality is shown by how many servants how tucked away your mansion can be and how nice your living room with the religious text in the piano and all this other stuff showed how moral you are but really how morrow and how good you are as you looking out for the poor the fatherless and the orphans, and those poor people who you’ve pushed away in those dirty urban areas that’s what it is to be moral to do justice for those that have no justice straight garbage
Stopped watching immediately when I saw the AI
A.i Images of poor children with flushed, rosy cheeks indicating good health is ridiculous. Check out real photographs from the actual victorian era, and see the absurdity yourself.
