1. 66% of men allowed to vote (no women) Britain ruled 25% of the world
2. Boer War 1899-1902: British army v. Dutch farmers in South Africa; 250,000 traditional army (Brits) vs. 60,000 guerrilla fighters (Dutch).
British create concentration camps for Boer women & children – 26,000 die.
Lots of UK soldiers weak/small/malnourished – can Britain survive the new century?
3. Eugenics = applying animal breeding theories to humans… encourage strong and “desirable” to mate; stop weak/diseased/undesirable from mating
Theory spread quickly across Europe… including to Germany…
4. Rowntree = author of study called “Poverty” – argued for need for welfare reform to protect/help weak and poor in society…

5. No TVs back then! Music Halls = entertainment for working classes (initially) + way of getting news + a way to discuss politics.
6. A v. good life if you had money!
Ed VI – huge meals every day!
1902 Arthur Balfour made PM by outgoing PM, his Uncle, Lord Robert Salisbury…
7. Strike in S. Wales against rail company… no rail = no coal transported, so thousands of miners lose jobs…
wage agreement reached but then Trade Union taken to court and fined huge sum… CONCLUSION = working classes need their own reps in Parl’t.
8. Tariff = a tax on overseas products… US & Germany use tariffs vs. UK goods
Joe Chamberlain (Tory) wanted a tariff wall around Brit. Empire in response
Tories eventually lose fight… Liberals wanted more tax on rich to pay for PENSIONS and GUNS…

9. Tabloids, like the Daily Mail, were popular b/c included “news” people wanted to read (health; sex; and money)
Important because had so many readers... so a good way to influence voters
10. Aim = to win vote for women…
1905 – Christabel Pankhurst successfully gets arrested and goes to prison to get publicity for cause… starts of a LOT of violence over the coming years
11. 1905 election – Tories thought they’d win but badly damaged by Chamberlain’s “tariff reform” crusade…
Liberals voted in… Henry Campbell-Bannerman becomes PM

In 1905…
Trad. leaders (upper and middle classes) have made Britain
great. They know best and should keep power.
In 1905…
Labour party = v. small and new: only 2
MPs in Parliament. Labour = new party of the working classes; aim = improve life of
poor and promote equality.
