In the history of the world, who is called "European Granny" and why did she get this title?
She is the famous Queen Victoria, the founder of the British Empire "the sun never sets" and the Queen of India. Her descendants are all over Europe, so she is called "grandma of Europe". She is a legendary queen, whose powerful political skills are amazing, and her ambition to expand is amazing to everyone. Her 64 years in office is a miracle.

Queen Victoria's life experience is like every monarch who expands his territory. She lost her father when she was a child, and her mother brought him up. Her life is extremely frugal because of the loss of her father. This difficult and simple habit she developed from childhood continued into adulthood, and even when she ascended the throne, it never changed.

Since the age of eleven, Queen Victoria has been strictly demanding herself to follow strict royal etiquette. She is a person with strong self-control. After she ascended the throne, her ambition was revealed to the fullest. In order to compete for territory, she did everything she could. First the Suez Canal was seized by conspiracy, and then India was colonized. Under her rule, Britain developed rapidly, and its economy, military, politics and even culture and art all advanced by leaps and bounds. Then she turned her attention to China, arachis duranensis.

Encouraged by her, British businessmen sold goods to China and began to sell opium because of low profits. Lin Zexu and Humen opium wars caused great losses to her profits. The Queen was furious and went to war with China on the grounds of "safeguarding the interests of the British Empire". This was the first Opium War, and China's century-old humiliation began. Although Queen Victoria was guilty of China, to the British, she was their hero. But she is a hemophiliac, and she completely passed on hemophilia to all the children, which led to the outbreak of hemophilia in all the royal families in Europe.
