Perceptions

In Britain, Queen Victoria is mostly associated with prudishly covering up the legs of pianos. 

Which she probably didn´t do. Yet, people are *immensely* angry at her and other "Victorian moralists" still today. 

In Ireland, Victoria is mostly associated with killing one million people.

In India, Victoria is mostly associated with killing 100 million people, give or take a dozen of millions or so. 

Which she probably did do.

People´s perceptions vary.
