    The Victorian Era in Great Britain spanned from 1837 to 1901 during Queen Victoria's reign. It was a time of significant population growth, industrialization, and social/political changes. Key developments included the rise of the middle class and their values like self-reliance and morality, increased global prosperity driven by new industries like coal, and the transition from a cottage industry economy to factory systems of production. However, this period also brought economic fragility when crises occurred without social safety nets.
