The potential suitor would first got to the girl's father and ask his permission to court her. Upon recieving his permission, the suitor could commence his courtship. That consisted of daily visits to her home and outings in the park, possibly going riding, all of this of course chaperoned. There were also rules as to what sorts of presents it was permissible for the girl to recieve. Flowers, chocolates, possibly a book. No jewelry, gloves, or anything that could be worn. Most certainly no kissing, no sitting closely next to each other, no embracing.

Expansionism occurred a lot. Egypt was taken by Britain in 1882. 1852 India came under British rule. Or the World Fair (The Great Exhibition). This event was sort of like the showing of all the new things and ideas to come from around the world.

I think you had to sign contracts and not be seen together before and after a certain time. Also, you couldn't show off your flesh.
Probably like Saudi Arabia is now...

Women were treated like property they did not have the right to vote.
Women were a dowry.
