The Victoria Wars
1837: Victoria becomes Queen of the United Kingdom, Hanover declares itself free from the Union because women cannot inherit under their laws. Belgium and the Netherlands end their civil war, and of the major European powers, only the United Kingdom signs the Treaty of London, which guarantees Belgian independence. This is enough to have most major powers back off of Belgium though. Queen Isabella II of Spain makes Spain into a Constitutional Monarchy
1838: Assassination attempt on Victoria ends in failure, however, the Prime Minister is killed. Parliament passes the Reform act of 1838, giving Victoria the powers of Prime Minister until the Prime Minister is replaced (which does not happen in TTL, giving Victoria the role of practically an Absolute Monarch). Victoria and her British Empire declare war upon Burma. Elections in the United Kingdom bring the (Liberal) Tories to power
1839: Spain has crisis when supporters of Carlos throw Spain into a state of War. France is about to step in, when Isabella throws herself at Victoria's mercy. At first Victoria refuses, but when the colony of Cuba, plus an ally on mainland Europe, is offered, Victoria cannot refuse. Britain steps in, and defeats the rebels. Spain becomes practically a satellite state of Britain and would remain that way until Victoria's death.

(1852-1862 is really boring with various tiny wars and industry building, getting back Prestige, and getting my Navy and Army back up. By 1860, I am the biggest Military and Industrial power, as well as having the highest prestige. France conquers Vietnam and Sardina-Peidmont while I was eating dinner, and 2 Sicilies seems to have conquered the Papal states)

1867: United States of Centeral America reunifies.
1868: Canada is released as a sattelite, Victoria crowned Queen of Canada

There is a Parliment and Constitution, but it is just for show. Victoria controls every aspect of her empire. 3 new laws are passed, due to Victorias saying of "Loyalty, Work, Church" which makes it illegal to have Public Meatings, free press, or saying something bad about the Queen, to be unemployed, and a special tax is put on all non Protestants.
