The Victorian Age
The Victorian Age is named after Queen Victoria. She ruled from 1838 until 1901. At the end of the 19th century the British Empire consisted of twenty per cent of the world's population. In this time there came up many new inventions. Examples are the lawn mower, the lift, the microphone, the telephone, the light bulb and the sewing machine. For the rich and the middle classes there were no problems. Their lives were comfortable and cosy. Every family from one of the two classes had at least one servant. But there also were the unemployed, sick, old or poor people, who had miserable lives and hard conditions to live: Either going to prison, or going to a workhouse. The streets were dirty and muddy. In 1870 education to the age of eleven came compulsory, so on at least every child could go to school, but that conditions weren't easy again. There was a lot of corporal punishment and crime.
