Queen Victoria was, until the 21st century, the longest-reigning monarch in British history and reigned over an empire on which the sun never set.While countless volumes have been written about the Great Queen, recent scholarly work has meaningfully explored the queen's and the monarchy's place and role in Britain's global empire as well as the place of the monarchy and the queen in the complex, and often brutal, history of British imperialism. The long story of Victoria is the story of multiple Victorias over the course of a long reign who was employed as a symbol of benevolent British rule, who engaged (some of) her colonial subjects with interest and even empathy, but who also supported and advocated for the worst excesses of British warfare and expansion.
