Victorian politics refers to the political landscape of the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. This period was marked by the rise of the Liberal and Conservative parties, which dominated the political scene. Key issues included industrialization, social reform, and the expansion of the British Empire. The era also saw significant political reforms, such as the Reform Acts of 1832, 1867, and 1884, which gradually extended voting rights to more men and, eventually, women. Political movements, including Chartism, emerged, advocating for broader democratic rights and social justice, reflecting the changing societal values of the time.
