The reason why these areas in Africa, Hong Kong, and Australia, bear the name, "Victoria" is to honor the British Queen at a time when Great Britain ruled those areas.

<h3>Why are there several places named "Victoria"?</h3>

Queen Victoria was one of the longest-serving monarchs in British History and to commemorate her, there were several places named after her by the British.

The British did this in places where they ruled over such as Hong Kong, Zimbabwe (Lake Victoria) and Australia.

Who is really “ in charge” of the government in the U.S? Who controls it?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

well for starters no one is really in charge of the government in the us for now.

Explanation:

First of all because the US overment does not run off of dictatorship and instead runs of a Triparite system based off of branches including the senate, the executive branch, and the Legeslative branch. this derives from both the ancient roman Replublic system and from the ancient Greeks. so even if someone tried to take charge of the us government there would have to be a massive debate between the Triparite system and the us citizens.
