Queen Victoria's empire

Queen Victoria's empire

DVD - 2006

Meet the queen who ruled over one-fifth of humanity and the larger-than-life figures who shaped British imperialism. Uses personal accounts and historical reenactments in Britain, India, and Africa to reveal the frequent clash of personality and culture that would mark Queen Victoria's reign and tells the story of how a small island nation would come to control three-fourths of the world's trade and one-fifth of its population in one of the greatest empires the world has known.
