She was made Empress of India by the Royal Titles Act of 1876. In other words, it was the British parliament that was responsible for this. The initiative came from the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli. The main reason given was that Britain was one of the few great powers that didn't call its reigning monarch an emperor (or empress).

Yes and No. In 1877, after about 16 years of British rule of India, the British Government decided to recognize Queen Victoria as Empress of India.
