Sorry, but the Victorian era was from 1837 - 1901. The Industrial Revolution began much earlier, in the 1770's, when the first factories were built.
The main event in 1900 was a general election, won by the Conservative Party. This election was known as the 'Khaki Election' owing to the return of many soldiers from the Boer War (1899-1902).
Notably, this election saw the Labour Representation Committee participate in a general election for the first time. It was in this election that Winston Churchill (Prime Minister during World War 2) first became an MP (Member of Parliament), for the constituency of Oldham, in North West England..

No, the Victorian era had ended at that point. The Boer War was fought.
