Occupancy OF the British Throne.

How History Was Made During yictoria's
Occupancy of the British Throne.
Although Nictoria's reign was essentially
one of peace, 10 was ia no sense an unevent
ful one Here is a brief summary Of the
more important events directly affecting
the British government;
lSl7-s-Bebcllion in Canada
lsi0-i2-Afghan war.
lslO-War with China.
lsl5-Repeal of the corn laws
l6E-Famine ia Ireland.

/ present.
lssl-s-Trouble and fighting In zululand.
/ l8S4-New Guinea annexed.

During all these years Victoria's throne
stood firm, thanks probably quite as much
to her own good sense as to the cOnstiCu
tional form of the English government.
But during this period the governments of
the world underwent more changes thnu
perhaps was the case during the reign of
any monarch Of the modern era excepting
that Of George III, who was on England s
throne during the French revolution. and
the reign of Louis XIV a century and b
half earlier. Here is a brief resume Of The
chief wars and political changes outside th'
