Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria holds the record for the longest reign in history with 64 years.  She was queen during one of Britain's highest moments in history, the Industrial Revolution.  Queen Victoria's reign is known as the Victorian Era.  Child labor was a major issue in England during this time, like during the Industrial Revolution.  The solution was the Mines Act which stopped children under ten from working in the mines, and the Factory Act which prevented children between the ages of eight and thirteen from working more than six and half hours a day.  Queen Victoria will forever be remembered as the Grandmother of Europe.
