Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 1819–1901) was the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837, and the first Empress of India from 1 May 1876, until her death on 22 January 1901. With her reign lasting sixty-three years and seven months, she is currently the longest ruling monarch in British history and the second longest European monarch after Louis XIV of France. During her reign, the British Empire saw an explosion of industrial growth and innovation.

Victoria in Atlantis

The Atlantean Servile Insurrection coincided with the reign of Victoria, although Britain made no effort to interfere in that matter.

Atlantean Consul Leland Newton felt a moment of envy for Victoria after he was accosted by a pro-slavery citizen in the early days of the Insurrection. Newton doubted either Queen Victoria or her Prime Ministers had to deal with such things.

Victoria's reign also coincided with another important event in Atlantis: the revelation that certain government officials were conspiring against the House of Universal Devotion. Again, neither Victoria nor her government were involved in the event. However, two of her subjects, Athelstan Helms and James Walton, were responsible for uncovering the conspiracy.

Victoria in "Gentlemen of the Shade"

Jack the Ripper committed his crimes in 1888, during Victoria's reign. The Sanguine Club toasted the queen at their meetings.

Victoria in Southern Victory

Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Empire during the 19^th Century.

During her reign, the Empire intervened in North America twice in a generation. In 1862, after the Confederate Army destroyed the Army of the Potomac and occupied the city of Philadelphia, the Empire extended diplomatic recognition to the Confederate States, ending the War of Secession. In 1881, the Empire sided with the Confederacy against the United States during the Second Mexican War, after both a promise from the Confederacy to manumit their slaves, and in response to the aggressive behavior of the Union.

Victoria in The Two Georges

The capital city of the North American Union was named in Victoria's honor. It was located in Maryland.
