Queen Victoria, Empress of Asia

POD
In the 1800s,at the height of British Expansion,the then British PM Disraeli suggests that it would be better if Queen Victoria simply made the areas she conquered protectorates,thus gaining support from local leaders.

She agreed to this.

In 1857,a revolt took place in India.However,in this timeline,the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was not involved in the revolt,thus he was made Emperor of India and Queen Victoria only Imperial Regentess of India.

She later on became Imperial Regentess of Asia.
