omniatlas: Europe 182 years ago today: Accession of Queen Victoria (20 Jun 1837) https://buff.ly/2WScz1R In 1837 King William IV of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland died and was succeeded by his 18-year-old niece, Victoria. As Hanover—until then in personal union with the British—did not by tradition recognize female succession, it split off under a new king of its own. Queen Victoria’s long reign would become known as the Victorian era—a period of great transformation, in which British power reached its zenith. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1830s #19thcentury #1837 #victorianera #victorian #europeanhistory #germanhistory #hanover #kingdomofhanover #june #june20 #unitedkingdom #britishempire #britishhistory #queenvictoria #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at London, United Kingdom)https://www.instagram.com/p/By7R0XmALW6/?igshid=1wdzof4183kjc -- source link
