Queen Victoria reigned in the Victorian period
London
Victoria was named after Queen Victoria of Britain. At the time when Victoria separated from New South Wales, the colonies of Australia were still under British rule. Queen Victoria was the reigning monarch of the time, so it was prudent to honour her by naming a state after her.
There has not been a Queen (or King) of England for over 300 years. England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. From 1837 to 1901 the monarch was Queen Victoria who was, at that time, Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Queen Victoria's mother was Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Saxe, Coburg, and Saalfeld are now part of modern day Germany.
Queen Victoria lived almost her entire life in Great Britain. She did spend some time in Germany where she had some relatives.
This confuses Queen Victoria with her country-she didn't take part in any wars, the last monarch to do so was George II.
™On April 1, 1864, the London Times published an article excoriating the Queen for her failure to take any part in the public life of her nation.
Queen Victoria experienced several miscarriages throughout her life, with reports indicating that she had at least three confirmed miscarriages. Additionally, she had a number of pregnancies that resulted in stillbirths and infant deaths. Overall, she gave birth to nine children, but these losses were a significant part of her reproductive history.
Some of Queen Victoria's accomplishments include the Boyer war, and the complete colonizing of India and Pakistan. She also built beautiful monuments that are part of art history today.
No but her great great great grandmother (queen Victoria) married her German cousin (prince albert) so the queen is part German.
Queen Victoria visited Jedburgh on September 7, 1869, during her tour of Scotland. This visit was part of her broader journey through the Borders region, where she expressed her admiration for the area's natural beauty and historical significance. Her visit to Jedburgh included a stop at the historic Jedburgh Abbey.
India became part of the British Empire in the 1890's, and subsequently, Queen Victoria became Empress of India.
