The 19th Century: Political Struggles, Social Change, and Scientific Advancements

In the 19th century, Britain struggled with true democracy, leading to the Reform Bill of 1832, which primarily benefited the middle class. The Chartist movement sought broader representation. Political power resided with the elite, while "proper" English behavior adhered to traditional norms. The Pankhursts advocated for women’s rights with organized protests. Meanwhile, France transitioned from the Paris Commune to the Third Republic, facing instability and division during the Dreyfus Affair. This era also saw Canada and Ireland developing their identities amidst struggles for autonomy and the Great Famine's impact. Technological advancements transformed lives, while Darwin’s and Mendel’s theories challenged self-identity.
