RGM in historical context - world events in this decade

1892	The World Columbian Exposition is held in Chicago. It had a profound effect on architecture, the arts and American industrial optimism. Designed largely by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Law Olmsted it was the prototype of what Burnham and his colleagues thought a city should be.
1893	The Panic of 1893, a serious economic depression in the United States, is caused by railroad overbuilding and shaky railroad financing, setting off a series of bank failures. The Panic is the worst economic crisis to hit the nation in its history and, some argue, more so than the Great Depression of the 1930s.
1894	The Reichstag Building in Berlin is constructed to house the Reichstag, the first parliament of the German Empire, which it housed until 1933 when the building was severely damaged in a fire.
	Tower Bridge in London, designed by Horace Jones and John Wolfe-Barry, is completed.
	Blackpool Tower in England is completed and opened to the public.
1896	A History of Architecture by Sir Banister Fletcher is published.
1897	Glasgow School of Art, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh is opened.
	The Vienna Secession group is founded by Otto Wagner, Joseph Maria Olbrich and Josef Hoffmann, among others.
1899	The Second Boer War, commonly referred to as The Boer War is fought from 1899 until 1902 between the British Empire and the two independent Boer republics of the Orange Free State and the South African Republic.
