    8:20 This is an important point here . During the 19th Century , there were numerous labour laws bought in trying to stop the use of child labour . But industrialists found loop holes in them . What finally ended the use of child labour was making schooling mandatory beginning in 1870 .

      Mostly agreed but it was not ONLY industrialits who found "loopholes" in the attempted child labor laws, the parents (one would asume not considered "industrialits") of the chidren who were put to work seemed to have found them as well.

    Victorian Great Britain is my favorite era of British history. The structure of that era, & the structure's chief architect, Queen Victoria herself, have been of enormous influence in cultures & societies across the globe. The Victorian British Empire is the greatest & most diverse empire the world has ever seen, sprung from a few tiny islands & a very tiny woman on the western fringe of Europe in the N. Atlantic. Queen Victoria outlived all her erstwhile influencers, leaving the world with a period crafted by her hands & called by her name - the Victorian Age.

      I agree. And although she was born, grew up and reigned in an entirely different Kingdom, I believe the strength, length and dedication Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth exhibited was a fabulous example for so many, shall we say, much less capable leaders around the world. Victoria held much sway in her time, and I believe Elizabeth (and Prince Philip, who lived so long by her side) held equivalent, significant sway in their time. I'm glad to have lived while she was here.

Consider that 3 of the greatest monarchs on earth have ruled the British Isles, & were female - Elizabeth I, Victoria, & Elizabeth II. Rather gives the lie, even to Queen Victoria's assertion, that females are incapable of being politicians & leaders, at least without a male's shadowy guidance. I think particularly of Elizabeth I, who ruled as the Virgin Queen, yet saw her people not just as subjects, but as her children. She was married to England. All 3, strong, dedicated females, committed to SERVING their nation to the best of their abilities. Thanks so much for your reply.

    I think Queen Victoria did the best she could with what she had. I understand the usefulness of studying the not so fine aspects of history, as this is how we learn and evolve politically and socially. What I don't understand is the current passion for what I see as 'revisionist history' that emphasizes the failures with no mediation of the successes. This invariably leads to engaging in presentism: assigning present day mores' and cultural norms to those in the past, who were, in the context of their age, acting in what was then an acceptale way....which is now leading to the destruction of historical monuments, memorials, and abandonement of books, writings, and other things with which we remind ourselves of the triumphs and tragedies of life.

      I believe you, someone's relatives had to have these positions somewhere, it's not supremely unlikely, in fact it _has_ to be so. My succession leads back to a king Phillippe II, through my mother's mother. We never 'felt' like royalty of any form (though my grandfather is a multi-millionaire, it wasn't an inheritance -- he built a company and sold it.) but it's interesting nonetheless.

  • @lenorawestwoodson5710
    @lenorawestwoodson5710 2 роки тому +47

    I believe that Queen Victoria was a woman of her "time" and place, in expressing some of the best and some of the worst of regnal power and ambition. She was a woman who could be both kind and ruthless-"Powerful is the pen." I believe that given her worldview and her personal experiences, that she did her best, for her own, maybe, not so much, for the Native Peoples, of the lands that her military representatives conquered. It was interesting to hear about the acquisition of the Koh-i-noor, since the request that it be returned is current. "Power" loves no one, but is a vehicle/tool for acquisition, domination and assimilation. With purposeful application it both destroys and builds up; whether the appurtenances of Power served a People or destroyed a People is left to perspective and Time.

      Husbands were not just husbands in those days. Losing a husband meant losing protection, livelihood, the skill to fix domestic problems, the skill to run important affairs, the moral instruction on how to engage with people in honorable ways, a well-guided future for your children and more. Females were not knowledgeable in any worldly matter. Not one. Hence it was a downright colossal fright and upheaval to lose one's husband in those days. Queen though Victoria was, she depended on Albert in the same degree as other 19th century women. She was lost, utterly lost, without him. She felt ruined and helpless.

It's very sad what happened but no, it didn't killed 1 Million ppl and the other million who emigrated, a half of it came back when the food crisis was over. The Catholic Irish have a victim-like speech and does English bashing... Of course an Irish Catholic will NEVER tell you that most of ppl were dying because CATHOLIC CLERGY told to the poors; Don't go in the popular soups or the English will brainwash you Protestant. They didn't went and so, it killed a lot. Irish Anglicans and Presbyterians died too and they have no statue or comemorations still to this day. Queen Vicky's soups saved 3 Million & + ppl back then.

    Victoria did make the largest relief donation to help the famine victims in Ireland, but she did block several other heads of state from making much larger donations because it would be an embarrassment for her and the British govt

    I wish that the queen had done more for the people of Ireland when they were starving due to a fungus that destroyed their primary source of nourishment. Just imagine the outpouring of goodwill that that act of Christian charity might've proven after the horrors of Cromwell's persecution of fellow followers of Jesus in Eire.

When I read about the beaurocratic bungling that prevented famine relief for the Irish, I was "gob smacked "!!! I think it will give you answers to your curiosity. Enjoy 😊😊😊

    Some time around the 25 minute mark, the documentary states that "Aristocrat and diarist, Charles Francis Greville (1749-1809) noted the relationship between Queen Victoria and Lord Melbourne. I don't quite understand though as it states Greville died in 1809, Queen Victoria was born in 1820 and her platonic relationship with Lord Melbourne would not take place for decades.
    Did I miss something? Maybe I misheard or misunderstood something?
    I'd greatly appreciate any clarification on this!

    I think Victoria would have greatly benefitted from anti-depressants for her post-partum depressions and for her grief at the loss of Albert. They might have given her some stability of mind. She complained how her babies appeared to her to be so frog-like and unappealing, but that could have been the post-partum depression talking, because later in life she welcomed her granddaughter Alexandra and Nicholas to Balmoral and she talked about baby Olga in a much more motherly light, claiming she was a lovely child. Perhaps she could feel that way since the baby was not hers; who knows. I think also she never had a good model of young mothering: how to care for a baby, child development, and so on, so how could she be expected to understand her babies. That was all left to nannies. It sounds as if Albert was the hands-on parent, romping with the kids, directing their educations, etc. Victoria was mostly interested in who her children married, which unfortunately spread hemophilia around into many of the monarchies of Europe. However, when Alix was young, Victoria took a great interest in her since Alix's mother, Victoria's daughter, had died. Alix spent a lot of time with her in England, and Victoria was given reports of her educational progress which she looked over very carefully. To me, Victoria was a very complex person. How could she feel she was given the right to rule but not allow her female subjects the vote, for example? Lots of odd conundrums.

      I know this is an older comment, but I'd just like to point out that the usefulness of SSRI drugs has been kind of disproven at this point (although many people are still unaware thanks to the media being bought out by the pharmaceutical companies). I think much of her depression and inability to bond with her children as infants has to do with her choice form of birth using chloroform. She wasn't even conscious during their births (of those she used chloroform with, of course) to receive the natural flow of hormones present at birth and immediately postpartum. At this time, a woman will have the highest concentration of analgesics and oxytocin humanly possible. Oxytocin is the bonding love hormone. It is also released during breastfeeding, and Victoria is notorious for refusing to breastfeed her own children (saying that she wasn't a cow) and hiring a wet nurse for all of them. Nannies to take care of their needs as well. If I could talk to her today, I'd tell her, "No, Your Majesty, you are not a cow, but you are a mammal and a mother. God created you with breasts to feed your children and nurture them."

      @@RaeBehrs Great points all! Thanks for that perspective! Mothering was so different then, especially for royals. An everyday mother in a village in England of the time would probably have nursed her babies but wealthy women and royals, not so much. However, her granddaughter, Tsarina Alexandra, who Victoria had an influential hand in rearing, did actually nurse all five of her children. So things were slowly changing.....

    The Hanoverian link to the British Monarchy is via the protestant branch of the Stuarts. It is not, and never was, a Royal house of its own. The Elector rank was equivalent to a Dukedom. King William IV is often thought of as the penultimate Hanoverian monarch, but I see him as the last of the House of Hanover. Victoria founded a new era entirely. the first Victorian.

    Excellent channel; excellent and enjoyable video on this most significant monarch. As a Baconian i grieve that Victoria had deliberately destroyed by fire the documents regarding the true biological reality of Sir Francis Bacon: ie, she knew from that material (as her dtr/secretary, Beatrice oversaw) clearly stated that he, Francis, was the biological elder son of Queen Elizabeth I and her paramour then concealed husband, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Francis was a Tudor and Dudley son, but because he was conceived out of wedlock and born in same, could never hope to be king of England as she indeed angrily declare to him when he was only about 14years of age. So much pathology and corruption constrained virtually all persons regardless of station. At the apex, men like William Cecil especially, advised against honest declarations fearing the precarious state of Protestant England at that time vis a vis Catholic Europe and Scotland. Francis was a giant of scholarship, the arts and sciences (or Alchemy) and spirituality; he had a very public and a very private 'face'. His public profile only was lauded as that was less threatening. Your video did a great survey of dear Victoria albeit my only observation is that little to nothing was said as to how emotionally distant she was from her children and how that ruined or at least fed into all the severe and detrimental psychological frailties that featured in many of her descendants. I am an admirer of constitutional monarchy for a body politic of any size; republican democracy comes as a distant second. Thank you very much for your excellent works.
