In the19th century, the population expanded again, forming a large Victorian suburb. Due to the industrial revolution and the rapid growth of trade, the population surged from 270 in 185 1 year to 6.6 million in 1905438+0 year.

During the Victorian era, London experienced a large-scale development. The opening of the world's first subway, the operation of buses and railway lines connecting four directions have given London a brand-new look and traffic. /kloc-In the second half of the 9th century, the resident population in London dropped sharply (185 1 year:128000; 187 1 year: 75,000 people; 190 1 year: 27,000 people), a large number of new buildings have transformed London from a Georgian city into a Victorian city.

The sewage system in London and the incandescent lamps on the streets of London were both realized during the reign of Queen Victoria.

/kloc-in the 20th century, many new museums were built in London, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (Victoria &; Albert, 1852), Science Museum, 1857), Natural History Museum (188 1). New Scotland Yard was built at 189655.

Buckingham Palace, after Queen Victoria entered Buckingham Palace in 1837, it was this humble building complex that became the nerve center of "the sun never sets" and the most powerful palace that attracted worldwide attention during her 64-year rule.

The 63-year period of Queen Victoria's rule (1June 20th, 837-190165438+1October 22nd) was the most powerful so-called "imperial empire" in Britain, and her rule lasted from her death to the beginning of the First World War (/kloc-

Britain in central Victoria is proud of its unparalleled position. It is the trade center of the world at this time: the plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Chicago and Odessa are our granaries; Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest farms; Australia and West Asia have our sheep farms; There are our cows in Argentina and the grasslands of western North America; Peru transports silver; Gold from South Africa and Australia flows to London; India and China grow tea for us; Our coffee, sugar cane and spice plantations are all over the Indies; Spain and France are our vineyards; The Mediterranean is our orchard; Our cotton fields have been growing in the southern United States for a long time, and now they are expanding to all warm areas on the earth.

Take gross national product as an example. During the period of 1880 ~ 1890, the annual growth rate of Britain was 22%, Germany was 29%, and the United States was 4 1%. From 1890 to 1900, 34% in Britain, 34% in Germany and 38% in the United States. However, from 1900 to 19 13, the average annual growth rate in Britain is only 15%, Germany is 30%, and the United States is 39%. 1880, more than 40% of the world's total exports of manufactured goods came from Britain. By 19 13, the proportion of Britain, Germany and the United States in the total export of manufactured goods has become 29.9%, 26.4% and 12.6%, and the downward trend in Britain is very obvious. Of course, this is only a relative decline. In absolute terms, Britain is still the richest country in the world. One of the most striking features of the Victorian era is that it was rich until its end.

So at the end of 19, London should not be chaotic at that time.
