What is an International event that happened in 1883?

Question

Please help me...I need to get this done soon

Answer 1

Well, I can think of 2:

1. Karl Marx died. Karl Marx was, thru his writings, the Father of Modern Communism. His writings were the inspiration for Adolf Hitler in Germany. Hitler, wrote his Doctrine Mein Kampf, while in prison, after reading the works of Karl Marx. We all know how that turned out.

2. Perhaps one of the 5 worst natural disasters in recorded history.
The famous Volcano, Krakatoa, began it's final stage of eruptions in August of 1883. It produced massive Tsunamis (Tidal Waves) that kiled over 36,000 people in Sumatra and Java. Help was provided my many countries. The rusulting damage left untold thousands of people homeless and without hope.

Those ought to get you started...... Good Luck...
