The World Hegemon: The British Isles, 1832-1914

Trama

It was the golden Victorian age - one of prosperity and transformation. Britannia ruled the waves, and through its achievements and influence, it was a leader for political, economic and cultural change. Its cities and population expanded rapidly, industrialisation and the advent of the steam railway revolutionised trade and the economy.
