What countries were ruled by Britain during Victorian times?

During Victorian times, Britain ruled over a vast empire that included countries such as India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and significant territories in Africa, including Egypt and parts of South Africa. The empire also extended to the Caribbean, with colonies like Jamaica, and several Pacific islands. Additionally, Britain had influence over regions in Asia, the Middle East, and parts of the Americas. This period marked the height of British imperial expansion, often referred to as "the empire on which the sun never sets."


British history has been a history of invasions?

No, nobody has successfully invaded Britain since the Romans under Caesar and then Claudius. At that time, however, Britain was not a unified country. Britain's island, rough seas surrounding it, and great navy have prevented it from being invaded by foreign enemies. It could be interpreted that British history has been a history of invading other countries. In the case of Australia and New Zealand, for example, the British could be seen to have invaded these quiet peaceful countries and turned the lives of the indigenous people upside down. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Britain sought to expand its empire by colonising other countries such as India, Burma, Rhodesia, The Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and numerous other countries of Africa. At one stage, the British empire, achieved largely through invasion and colonisation, was the largest Empire in the world.
