1 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…

2 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…

3 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

4 INTRO TO THE LIBERAL REFORMS NO!!!

5 Conservat- ism Socialism (Labour) Liberalism RIGHT-WINGLEFT-WING 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. In 1905… Too much inequality in Britain. Government should support and help the poor. Upper/middle class leaders, looking for support across all classes.
