À propos de cet audio

 In this compelling third volume of our exploration of Victorian Britain, we begin in 1856, delving into the turbulent events of the Second Opium War and the gripping Indian Rebellion of 1857. As the narrative unfolds, we witness pivotal moments such as Benjamin Disraelis passage of the Jews Relief Act in June 1858, allowing Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild to take his seat in Parliament. The death of Prince Albert in December 1861 leaves Queen Victoria in profound mourning, while Lord Palmerstons diplomatic efforts expand Britains influence across Europe. Meanwhile, the American Civil War introduces unexpected divisions within the nation, and Bismarcks rise marks the beginning of Prussias ascent to power.
