:''Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical)'' ---- (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — Centuries) The 19th century lasted from 1801 to 1900 in the Gregorian calendar (using the Common Era system of year numbering). Common usage sometimes regards it as lasting from 1800 to 1899, but this is considered incorrect due to the nonexistence of a "0 (year)" before AD 1. The 19th century is also sometimes known as the eighteen hundreds (1800s), referring to the latter usage. Decades are almost always considered as starting with the "0" year and named accordingly ("1890s", etc.), so the first decade of a century technically overlaps back into the preceding one. Historians sometime use "Nineteenth Century" as a label for the era stretching from 1815 (The Congress of Vienna) to 1914 (The outbreak of the First World War). == Overview == The 19th century continued and expanded the industrial revolution which had begun in the 18th century. It was a century of widespread invention and discovery, and one in which social, cultural, and economic systems were heavily affected by science and technology and the business models built on them, such as a shift from independent artisans and craftspersons to wage laborers employed by large factories as the primary means of production. It was the heyday of capitalism, but it was also the century in which the major opposing ideologies, socialism and communism, arose. The successes up to that time in building mechanical devices and in discovering the natural laws of the universe led to a widespread belief by the end of the century that the world ran predictably as by clockwork and that all of its mysteries would soon be solved by modern science; and, similarly, all of the social problems of human society could be solved too by application of scientific principles. The religious revival of the Second Great Awakening in the eastern United States and Canada gave rise to unique, American, Christianity religions during the era of Restorationism. == Events == * 1801: The Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland merge to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. * 1803: The United States buys out France territorial claims in North America via the Louisiana Purchase. * 1805-1848: Muhammad Ali of Egypt modernizes Egypt. * 1806: Holy Roman Empire dissolved. * 1810s-1820s: South American Wars of Independence * 1812-1815: War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain * 1815: Congress of Vienna redraws the European map. * 1815: Napoleon I of France defeat at Battle of Waterloo brings a conclusion to the Napoleonic Wars. * 1816: Year Without a Summer * 1816-1828: Shaka's Zulu kingdom becomes the largest in Southern Africa. * 1819: The modern city of Singapore is established by the British East India Company. * 1820: History of Liberia founded by the American Colonization Society for freed American slaves. * 1821-1832: Greek War of Independence * 1830: France French rule in Algeria. * 1830: Belgian Revolution * 1833: Slavery Abolition Act bans slavery throughout the British Empire. * 1833-1876: Carlist Wars in Spain. * 1834: Spanish Inquisition officially ends. * 1835-1836: Texas Revolution in Mexico * 1837-1901: Victoria of the United Kingdom's reign is considered the apex of the British Empire and is referred to as the Victorian era. * 1839-1860: After two Opium Wars, Great Britain, France, the United States and Russia gain many concessions from China. * 1845-1849: Irish Potato Famine (1845-1849) * 1848: The Communist Manifesto published. * 1848: Revolutions of 1848 in Europe * 1848-1858: California Gold Rush * 1851-1860s: Victorian gold rush in Australia * 1851-1864: The Taiping Rebellion in China * 1854: The Convention of Kanagawa formally ends Japan's policy of Sakoku. * 1854-1856: Crimean War between Great Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire and Russia * 1857-1858: Indian rebellion of 1857 * 1859: The Origin of Species published. * 1861-1865: American Civil War * 1866: Successful transatlantic telegraph cable follows an earlier attempt in 1858. * 1866: Austro-Prussian War results in Austria-Hungary. * 1866-1869: Meiji Restoration in Japan * 1867: The United States Alaska Purchase from Russia. * 1869: First Transcontinental Railroad completed in United States. * 1869: The Suez Canal opens linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. * 1870-1871: Franco-Prussian War results in the unifications of German Empire and Italian unification. * 1872: Yellowstone National Park created. * 1874: The British East India Company is dissolved. * 1877: The first recording by Thomas Edison, which was of Mary Had a Little Lamb. * 1878: First commercial telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. * 1879: Anglo-Zulu War in South Africa. * 1879-1884: War of the Pacific between Peru, Bolivia and Chile. * 1880-1902: Great Britain conquers Dutch settlers in South Africa in two Boer Wars. * 1882: First electrical Pearl Street Station and Electricity distribution in Manhattan. * 1884-1885: The Berlin Conference signals the start of the European Scramble for Africa.
