Australian history in 1891?
The decade of the 1890s were very important in Australian history. The decade saw a major depression in the colonies. Beginning in 1891 was the Great Australian Shearers Strike which finally ended in 1893 with minimal consequences. However in 1896, another major strike occurred and Queensland was on the brink of civil war between the unions who armed themselves against government forces. This was characterised by severe skirmishes, attacks on wool and storage sheds, and naval battles against government ferrys. Late in this decade saw many prominent figures emerge to call for a unification of the colonies which eventually ended with the Federation of Australia in 1901.
