Home›Events›Event Era (Year)›By Century›19th centuryBrowse By19th centuryThis dimension groups historical events by the specific year in which they occurred. Wikipedia notes that historians rely on "primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations," evidence that in most cases pins an event to one specific year. Browsing by event year lets a visitor compare events that happened at the same time.19th centurySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)19th centuryFilter Results42 entriesEraAllThe Late Modern Period (41)The Napoleonic Era (1)ParticipantsAllAbraham Lincoln (1)Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1)Benito Juárez (1)Crazy Horse (1)Emperor Meiji (1)George Armstrong Custer (1)Geronimo (1)Giuseppe Garibaldi (1)Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (1)Hong Xiuquan (1)John Bright (1)José de San Martín (1)Klemens von Metternich (1)Li Hongzhang (2)Lin Zexu (1)Mahmud II (1)Napoleon Bonaparte (2)Otto von Bismarck (3)Queen Victoria (1)Richard Cobden (1)Robert Peel (2)Simón Bolívar (1)Sitting Bull (1)Te Rauparaha (1)Wilhelm I of Prussia (1)Yaa Asantewaa (1)Zeng Guofan (1)LocationAllAshanti, West Africa (present-day Ghana) (1)Berlin, Germany (Wilhelmstrasse) (1)China (1)France and the Rhine Province, Prussia (1)Global (primarily Europe) (1)Hall of Mirrors, Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France (1)Haymarket Square, Chicago (1)Ireland (1)Italian Peninsula (1)Japan (1)Meerut, India, 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Delhi (1)Mexico (3)Near Adwa, Ethiopia (1)New Zealand (1)North China, Yellow Sea (1)Northeast China, Shandong Peninsula, Korea, and Yellow Sea (1)Ottoman Greece, present-day Greece (1)Philippines (1)Present-day Saskatchewan and Alberta (1)Present-day South Africa (1)Qing dynasty China, chiefly the south and the Yangtze valley (1)Quinua, Huamanga, Peru (1)Southern Africa (1)Southern Italy (1)Southwestern United States (1)The Houses of Parliament, London, United Kingdom (1)United States, Atlantic Ocean (1)Vienna (1)Event TypeAllMilitary Conflict (35)Natural Disaster (2)Political Event (5)Group TreeAllEvents of the Imperial Wars and Revolutions, 1895 to 1913 (6)Events of the Mid-Century Revolutions and Wars, 1848 to 1859 (6)Events of the New Imperialism, 1875 to 1894 (7)Events of the Restoration and Reform Years, 1815 to 1847 (7)Events of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Years, 1789 to 1814 (7)Events of Unification and Reform, 1860 to 1874 (8)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 42American Civil War19th centuryAnglo-Zulu War19th centuryApache Wars19th centuryBattle of Adwa19th centuryBattle of Ayacucho19th centuryBerlin Conference19th centuryBoxer Rebellion19th centuryCongress of Vienna19th centuryCrimean War19th centuryExpedition of the Thousand19th centuryFirst Serbian Uprising19th centuryFirst Sino-Japanese War19th centuryFranco-Prussian War19th centuryFrench Intervention in Mexico19th centuryGreat Famine (Ireland)19th centuryGreat Sioux War of 187619th centuryGreek War of Independence19th centuryHaymarket affair19th centuryIndian Rebellion of 185719th centuryJune Days uprising19th centuryMeiji Restoration19th centuryMexican Reform War19th centuryMexican War of Independence19th centuryMusket Wars19th centuryNorth-West Rebellion19th centuryOpium Wars19th centuryParaguayan War19th centuryPhilippine-American War19th centuryRebellions of 1837-183819th centuryRepeal of the Corn Laws19th centurySecond Boer War19th centurySecond Opium War19th centurySpanish American wars of independence19th centurySpanish-American War19th centuryTaiping Rebellion19th centuryThe Napoleonic Wars19th centuryTrail of Tears19th centuryUnification of Germany19th centuryUnification of Italy19th centuryWar of the Golden Stool19th centuryWar of the Pacific19th centuryWar of the Third Coalition19th centurySourcesSouth Sea Bubble (Encyclopaedia Britannica)Contains: The South Sea BubbleTulip Mania (Encyclopaedia Britannica)Contains: Tulip ManiaMagna Carta (Encyclopaedia Britannica)Contains: Magna CartaHong Kong and the Opium Wars (The National Archives, UK)tier 1The National Archives (UK)Contains: Opium WarsView the SourceThe Corn Laws (The National Archives, UK)tier 1The National Archives (UK)Contains: Repeal of the Corn LawsView the SourceRuhrbesetzung, 11 Januar 1923 (Bundesarchiv)tier 1Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archives)Contains: Weimar Republic HyperinflationView the SourceAsian Financial Crisis (Federal Reserve History)tier 1Federal Reserve HistoryContains: Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 to 1998View the SourceWhy Mexico Had No Choice but to Nationalize Banks (Christian Science Monitor, 1982)tier 2Christian Science MonitorContains: Latin American Debt CrisisView the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
