Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
where lol, the main issue in the 1890's was the armed peace in Europe, every1 knew the war was coming, no1 knew when or how big, any excuse was good enough for it, and im sure they did not see how big it was going to be!.

Europe: France celebrates the 100 years of the Replublic (1789)
Germany, the Berlin agreement of the division of Africa, and the German Empire was the sole bigest at the moment!.

the Americas: the U!.S!. wons the war against Spain and anexes Cuba (1898 if im not wrong)!.

In other words, its the last period of the colonial expansion all over the world, the last places were divided, and then, when there was none left, war started to take the other's one!.

so thats it, take carez :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

1893 - The Crash Of The 1890's

Keen to keep on sitting pretty
Banks lend without security,
But while in London, Westgarth fails,
Aussie stocks take a dive in sales!.

When Argentinian banks go bust,
All think Australia also must!.
Wool falls, wheat falls, metals plunge,
Aussie banks can no more scunge!.

A quarter billion pounds in red,
The Government tries raising bread!.
The more it borrows, the more it owes,
So public projects have to close!.

Unemployment becomes normal,
Housing mortgages informal,
Bank investors all turn vile,
First bank to flop is Mercantile!.

Twelve more banks in ninety-three
Slam their doors in Melbourne's spree!.
Having loaned out their funds slapdash
Some forty Credit Unions crash!.

With bids to stem the panic hexed,
Eleven more banks plummet next!.
With stocks and shares turned into pulp
All Australia can do is gulp!.

The moral!? If it's familiar cast
It's 'cause banks don't learn from the past,
And though some still play the great temptress,
You're better off with a good mattress!.

There were no cars, so people either walked or used their horses as transportation, or trains if they were available in the area!.

People used chamber pots or outhouses, as there weren't many indoor toilets!.

The smallpox vaccine began in the 1890s!.
