The 19th century, also known as the Victorian era, or the Gilded Age, was a period of significant change, transformation, and upheaval across the world - and it shaped the course of Human history. It saw the rise of industrialisation, the expansion of colonial empires, and the spread of new ideas and technologies. It was a time of great scientific, industrial, and cultural developments that had a profound impact upon society. However, life in the 19th century was vastly different from what we experience today. Though it is different from the modern era, exploring this period of history can provide valuable insights into the world we know in the 21st century.
In this compendium, we will explore what life was like during the 19th century, from the daily routines of ordinary people to the major events that shaped the century. By the time you have read this publication - you will have a better understanding of the 19th century, and this will help you better understand the 21st century; and why we do some of the things we do.
