Queen Victoria, was not as good as she is said to be.
Here is the case for saying she were bad.
She was the lynch pin of a dictatoral, system,
The greatest defence, rightists had in defending the system was the monarchy, unlike today, where we defend our democratic system via democarcy, and monarchy tries to suck off it's popularity.
The monarchy of Queen Victoria, replaced in the 1830s, the arlier monarchies.
The main crimes of Queen Victoria,
Were in this order.
She supported executing the Chartist rebels of South Wales, who tried to create a democratic revolution in Britain, that would possibly have averted the Irish Famine, by giving the people, full control of society, Even while they were not executed.
She supported monarchies that had slavery, even against republican regimes that opposed it, i.e Spain.
She opposed the revolutions of 1848 that brought democratic values to Europe.
She did nothing to stop the Irish Famine, despite being invited by the local British official there, as he felt if she saw the misery she may be tweaked to do something, She was the only person of power to enter Ireland on a tour in the Irish Famine, and did nothing about it.
Her husband was a member of a group that supported emmigration from the Highlands, i.e supported the Highland Clearances.
She essentially opposed every democratic reform bills in Britain.
She had more money spent on her during her reign, than was spent by the state, on Irish famine victim relief.
Gladstone, acted to avert the Irish famine of the late 19th Century. But she despised him, for not treting her as a virtual God. Indeed she used her power to have him fired. This brought on the power of Disraeili, and Lord Salisbury, The Salisbury adminstration would have found it very difficult to have power without her help, and as of this, And Disraeli, was supported by her, partly as of his imperial policy. These couple of PMS, saw something like 30 million people die of famine, under there, rule, largely as she imposed the, against the democratic ways, that existed at the time. She di this by using her Royal cultic power, to see Gladstone, lose popularity, criticising his policies, in underhand, ways, that made the public know she was against him, but mad it impossible for him to condemn her. Anyhow under Salisbury lots of people died in famines, which more relief would have stopped. Under Gladstone famine in India was a lesser murderous event,. The famines in Idnia, did actually do allot of harm, and saw organisations like Indian Congress, and the US Democrats realise how wrong colonialism, and imperialism, were. Queen Victoria was a great supporter of colonialism, and imperialism.
She is said to have not want to have had a palace in ireland, as she disliked Catholics.
She opposed Parnell, the great remarkably peaceful for such a time, hero of Irish nationalism, and refused even to have any communication with him, She opposed Irish Home Rule, So they are some great Queen Victoria facts, like a Queen Victoria biography, warts and all,
She is also related to the Kaiser of Germany Tsar of Russia, Enmperor of Austria who each caused World War One, and related to that King of Belgium who killed millions.
