    8:20 This is an important point here . During the 19th Century , there were numerous labour laws bought in trying to stop the use of child labour . But industrialists found loop holes in them . What finally ended the use of child labour was making schooling mandatory beginning in 1870 .

    Victorian Great Britain is my favorite era of British history. The structure of that era, & the structure's chief architect, Queen Victoria herself, have been of enormous influence in cultures & societies across the globe. The Victorian British Empire is the greatest & most diverse empire the world has ever seen, sprung from a few tiny islands & a very tiny woman on the western fringe of Europe in the N. Atlantic. Queen Victoria outlived all her erstwhile influencers, leaving the world with a period crafted by her hands & called by her name - the Victorian Age.

    • @citizencrane658

      I agree. And although she was born, grew up and reigned in an entirely different Kingdom, I believe the strength, length and dedication Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth exhibited was a fabulous example for so many, shall we say, much less capable leaders around the world. Victoria held much sway in her time, and I believe Elizabeth (and Prince Philip, who lived so long by her side) held equivalent, significant sway in their time. I'm glad to have lived while she was here.

      @@citizencrane658 Indeed, Queen Elizabeth II was an extraordinary woman. Consider that 3 of the greatest monarchs on earth have ruled the British Isles, & were female - Elizabeth I, Victoria, & Elizabeth II. Rather gives the lie, even to Queen Victoria's assertion, that females are incapable of being politicians & leaders, at least without a male's shadowy guidance. I think particularly of Elizabeth I, who ruled as the Virgin Queen, yet saw her people not just as subjects, but as her children. She was married to England. All 3, strong, dedicated females, committed to SERVING their nation to the best of their abilities. Thanks so much for your reply.

      I believe you, someone's relatives had to have these positions somewhere, it's not supremely unlikely, in fact it _has_ to be so. My succession leads back to a king Phillippe II, through my mother's mother. We never 'felt' like royalty of any form (though my grandfather is a multi-millionaire, it wasn't an inheritance -- he built a company and sold it.) but it's interesting nonetheless.

    I think Queen Victoria did the best she could with what she had. I understand the usefulness of studying the not so fine aspects of history, as this is how we learn and evolve politically and socially. What I don't understand is the current passion for what I see as 'revisionist history' that emphasizes the failures with no mediation of the successes. This invariably leads to engaging in presentism: assigning present day mores' and cultural norms to those in the past, who were, in the context of their age, acting in what was then an acceptale way....which is now leading to the destruction of historical monuments, memorials, and abandonement of books, writings, and other things with which we remind ourselves of the triumphs and tragedies of life.

    I believe that Queen Victoria was a woman of her "time" and place, in expressing some of the best and some of the worst of regnal power and ambition. She was a woman who could be both kind and ruthless-"Powerful is the pen." I believe that given her worldview and her personal experiences, that she did her best, for her own, maybe, not so much, for the Native Peoples, of the lands that her military representatives conquered. It was interesting to hear about the acquisition of the Koh-i-noor, since the request that it be returned is current. "Power" loves no one, but is a vehicle/tool for acquisition, domination and assimilation. With purposeful application it both destroys and builds up; whether the appurtenances of Power served a People or destroyed a People is left to perspective and Time.

      Husbands were not just husbands in those days. Losing a husband meant losing protection, livelihood, the skill to fix domestic problems, the skill to run important affairs, the moral instruction on how to engage with people in honorable ways, a well-guided future for your children and more. Females were not knowledgeable in any worldly matter. Not one. Hence it was a downright colossal fright and upheaval to lose one's husband in those days. Queen though Victoria was, she depended on Albert in the same degree as other 19th century women. She was lost, utterly lost, without him. She felt ruined and helpless.

    I think Victoria would have greatly benefitted from anti-depressants for her post-partum depressions and for her grief at the loss of Albert. They might have given her some stability of mind. She complained how her babies appeared to her to be so frog-like and unappealing, but that could have been the post-partum depression talking, because later in life she welcomed her granddaughter Alexandra and Nicholas to Balmoral and she talked about baby Olga in a much more motherly light, claiming she was a lovely child. Perhaps she could feel that way since the baby was not hers; who knows. I think also she never had a good model of young mothering: how to care for a baby, child development, and so on, so how could she be expected to understand her babies. That was all left to nannies. It sounds as if Albert was the hands-on parent, romping with the kids, directing their educations, etc. Victoria was mostly interested in who her children married, which unfortunately spread hemophilia around into many of the monarchies of Europe. However, when Alix was young, Victoria took a great interest in her since Alix's mother, Victoria's daughter, had died. Alix spent a lot of time with her in England, and Victoria was given reports of her educational progress which she looked over very carefully. To me, Victoria was a very complex person. How could she feel she was given the right to rule but not allow her female subjects the vote, for example? Lots of odd conundrums.

      I know this is an older comment, but I'd just like to point out that the usefulness of SSRI drugs has been kind of disproven at this point (although many people are still unaware thanks to the media being bought out by the pharmaceutical companies). I think much of her depression and inability to bond with her children as infants has to do with her choice form of birth using chloroform. She wasn't even conscious during their births (of those she used chloroform with, of course) to receive the natural flow of hormones present at birth and immediately postpartum. At this time, a woman will have the highest concentration of analgesics and oxytocin humanly possible. Oxytocin is the bonding love hormone. It is also released during breastfeeding, and Victoria is notorious for refusing to breastfeed her own children (saying that she wasn't a cow) and hiring a wet nurse for all of them. Nannies to take care of their needs as well. If I could talk to her today, I'd tell her, "No, Your Majesty, you are not a cow, but you are a mammal and a mother. God created you with breasts to feed your children and nurture them."

An everyday mother in a village in England of the time would probably have nursed her babies but wealthy women and royals, not so much.

    The Hanoverian link to the British Monarchy is via the protestant branch of the Stuarts. It is not, and never was, a Royal house of its own. The Elector rank was equivalent to a Dukedom. King William IV is often thought of as the penultimate Hanoverian monarch, but I see him as the last of the House of Hanover. Victoria founded a new era entirely. the first Victorian.

    Love Queen Victoria! But what I find weird is how everyone says she started having kids in 1840. She had 9 kids that survived to adulthood when that wasn’t normal back then. But her own grand mother Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz started having kids in 1762. She had 15 kids with 13 surviving til adulthood. So why do we never hear that same thing when they talk about Queen Charlotte but always hear it with Queen Victoria. I know childbirth was hard back then. Her grandmother had way more kids than her. We barely hear that but with Victoria it’s always exaggerated.
