Victoria, has almost uniquely given her name to an age, the Victorian Age is a term used to refer to most of the nineteenth century and anything made in it, even in countries where she was not queen. Despite becoming one of the most famous women in history her succession to the throne was unexpected. She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died, without legitimate issue. During her long reign, Britain became a global superpower, governing one-fifth of the earth's surface and almost a quarter of the world's population.
