It is June 20 1837. I am 18 and awoken in the middle of the night by my mother to find that the king has died and I am now the ruler of the United Kingdom and Ireland. I choose to be Queen Victoria for various reasons, one being I just saw her movie on t.v. and LOVED it. The movie really got me interested in her so i did some more research and found that she was a really incredible person.When she was younger she was raised with the "Kensington System" which was her mothers way of forcing her daughter to depend on her and she would not allow her to see her family but when she became queen she did not let anyone tell her what to do she even made her mother stay in a separate apartment and hardly talked to her. . Privately, she attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments and publicly, she became a national icon, and was identified with strict standards of personal morality. Her reign of 63 years and 7 months, is the longest British and also female monarch in history. Her reign was known as the Victorian Era which was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. So she was really cool and inspirational.Monday, November 14, 2011
