The Setting:

Much of democratic reform started in Britain, where peoplewanted more rights from the government. This arose around the

mid-19th century, and was overlooked by Queen Victoria, themonarch at the time. Major players in this included Parliament,consisting of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, andindividuals such as Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of theWomens Social and Political Union (WSPU).

The Problem:

Many people in Britain thought that they were being treatedunfairly and want equal rights. People fought for things

such as suffrage, representation, and other rights ofequality. Although the government tried to fix things slowlthe citizens were not truly satisfied. As a result, they trieto make solutions by themselves.

The oal:

Citizens wanted suffrage for all, along with other rights that were not for

all the people. In British colonies, people wanted to become dominions or

separate from Britain because they were being unfair. The colonies werebeing used by Britain for wealth and resources.

The Events:

In many places, women began to get the right to vote. Australia

developed the secret ballot and New Zealand became the first country

to allow all women the right to vote (white women). Reforms like

these were only the beginning of a drastic change in the British Empirethat would affect how the country governs today. Canada, separated

into English and French provinces, and Ireland, ruled by England since

the 12th century, would also play a role in democratic reform. Canada

formed a dominion, and Ireland stressed home rule. Both of these

countries would later be granted independence, in addition to

Australia and New Zealand.
