Events of the New Imperialism, 1875 to 1894

This group gathers events that began between 1875 to 1894, placed among the events of The Age of Empire. The years from 1875 to 1894 saw European powers divide Africa, colonial wars on several continents and the growth of labor protest. An event belongs here when its cited article gives a start date inside this span. It excludes events that began earlier or later, which sit in the neighboring groups of the same period, and it does not turn on how large or famous an event was.
