  1. British Army during the Victorian Era

    British Army The British Army during the Victorian era served through a period of great technological and social change. Victoria of the United Kingdom Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, and died in 1901. Her long reign was marked by the steady expansion and consolidation of the British Empire , and Industrial Revolution industrialisation and the enactment of liberal reforms by both Liberal Party UK Liberal and Conservative Party UK Conservative governments within Britain. The British Army began the period with few differences from the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars which fought at the Battle of Waterloo . There were three main periods of the Army s development during the era. From the end of the Napoleonic Wars to the mid 1850s, the Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington Duke of Wellington and his successors attempted to maintain its organisation and tactics as they had been in 1815, with only detail changes.

From 1868 to 1881, sweeping changes were made by Liberal Party UK Liberal governments, giving it the broad structure which it retained until 1914. On Victoria s death, the Army was still engaged in the Second Anglo Boer War , but other than expedients adopted for that war, it was recognisably the army which would enter the World War I First World War . The Industrial Revolution had changed its weapons, transport and equipment, and social changes such as better education had prompted changes to the terms of service and outlook of many soldiers. Nevertheless, it retained many features inherited from the Duke of Wellington s army, and since its prime function was to maintain the expanding British Empire , it differed in many ways from the conscripted armies of continental Europe.
