Diamonds were discovered at Kimberlay in the Boer Republic of South Africa and this year gold was discovered in the Transvaal. This proved too much for the British and tensions increased leading to the Anglo-Boor War (1899-1902) resulting in South Africa becoming part of the British Empire. The Boers easily won early victories over the British. As more troops arrived the Boer resorted to guerrilla tactics. The British broke the resistance by putting Boer families in concentration camps and burning their crops.

A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson (1864-1941) in his poems, this decade, did more to define the Australian Outback and its unique culture than any other person. One of his most famous poems is:
WALTZING MATILDA
Oh! there once was a swagman camped in the Billabong,
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree;
And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, my darling,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag---
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in glee;
And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"
Down came the Squatter a-riding his thoroughbred;
Down came Policeman --one, two and three.
"Whose is the jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag?
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me."
But the swagman, he up and jumped in the water-hole,
Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree;
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabomg,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
The poem uses slang from the period:
Matilda = bedroll
Waltzing Matilda = drifting around the outback
Swagman = itinerant worker
Squatter = landholder
Jumback = sheep

The Austro-Hungarian monarchy is a patchwork quilt, the national chain-gang of Europe, a state that is not a nation but a collection of nations. Yet it has survived formidable European coalitions to dismember it. All nations of the coalition hate the government but they hate each other. The government uses an abundance of Roman Catholic priests to teach them to be docile and obedient and they censor the press towards this end. Sometimes the censor suck all the blood out of the newspaper leaving it colorless and inane. The army is everywhere. Parliament is split with Clericals, the Progressists, the German Nationalists, the Young Czechs, the Social Democrats, Christian Socialists and others. Sultin Abbul Hamid between 1894-1896 of the Ottoman Turks exterminated over 200,000 Armenian infidels (myrtyrs) using the Jihad, the Islamic Law, the Sheri (Sharia) law to justify the genocide.

1897
Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) established new norms for censorship and in 1900 a new index that denied any real significance to Christian Democracy in Italy. The Roman Church barbaric castration of boys for adult sopranos ended about this time having originated in Constantinople. Religious dogma also led some pious men to emasculate themselves to avoid sexual sin or temptation. This barbaric practice persisted into the twentieth century in Russia.
Leo Tolstroy, a Russian novelist, proposed that the Doukhobor Sect be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This infuriated the Russian Orthodox Church and caused more trouble for this religious group. Tolstroy would in 1899 provide the funds to ship some 7,500 Doukhobors to Canada.
The most powerful earthquake known hits India.
1898

The Doukhbour a traditionalist sect of the Russian Orthodox Church are outcasts because they rejected icon worship, practice pacifism, practice humanitarian love, communal life and believe all people are equal. Some 7,500 men, women and children embark this year for Saskatchewan Canada. The Federal Government of Canada promised them they could practice their communal land and village system, use their Russian language schools and practice their pacifist beliefs as the early Christians had done before them.
An estimated 2.4 million people were exterminated by the British as a result of a 5 year war in the kingdoms of Bunyord/Mengo (Buyaga, Bugangaizi) in mid-western Uganda. The invading British pillaged, raped and murdered the People. They introduced syphilis which became an epidemic. Those they didn't kill were hounded out of their prime lands to make room for British settlers. Large tracts of lands were depopulated.
In Sweden, this century, 600 people, including nearly 200 women, were beheaded.
The Anglo-Boer War of South Africa (1899-1902) resulted in the loss of independence of the Boer Republic (Transvaal) and Orange Free State of South Africa. The Afrikaners (Boers) are enraged with the 18,000 to 28,000 women and children who died in British concentration camps, as compared to only 7,000 Boers who died in battle. The British atrocities predate German concentration camps in the next century. The world has long forgotten this genocide activity. Unfortunately the Afrikaners (Europeans born in Africa) adopted the British racial philosophy. They ruled over their Black servants like feudal squires of medieval British times. Some say the Afrikaners lost their soul when they adopted British ways, lost their capacity to give, lost their faculty of compassion, lost our culture. Resentment runs so deep that modern Afrikaners were heard to say "I'd rather have him (his son) marry a Black girl than an English girl". In the late twentith century 7.2% of Afrikaners have nonwhite blood in their veins. It should be noted that as early as 1671 three-quarters of all children born to Dutch East India Company slaves were mixed blood.
