  SFAH: Danish Labour Movement 1871-1901
The events leading up to the establishment of this socialist organisation can be seen as a process of constant interaction between, on the one hand, the experience of workers vis-à-vis the early bourgeois class-society, and, on the other, the political and theoretical response of workers to this type of society.
However, it was not exclusively the experience and development among workers which came to play a role; a small number of university men - and among them especially Frederik Dreier, a physician, should be mentioned - took up a position of solidarity with the emerging labour movement and contributed to the overall experience among workers.
From May 1871, Louis Pio, an official of the postal service, made preparations for the establishment of the Association by publishing a number of leaflets which, after July 21 were published in the form of the newspaper, the "Socialisten".

However, we do see a glimpse into some of the “small” events: a civil marriage, a classroom previously taught by nuns now taught by lay schoolteachers, a meeting of the Union des Femmes (a group formed during the Commune to advance the cause of women’s rights), a group of Communards defending a barricade.
For example, in the third tape, a discussion on problems facing women in 1871 France among members of the Union des Femmes is interspersed with text that provides statistics on the situation of women in France in 1999.

 story in depth, 1871:  Germany Adopts Paragraph 175
When Wilhelm I, King of Prussia, was made Emperor of Germany on January 18, 1871, all of the German kingdoms were united into the Federal State that we know today as Germany.
Five of the German states absorbed into the German empire in 1871 -- including Hannover where Ulrichs was born -- boasted liberal penal codes that were modeled on the enlightenment principle that men have the right to act as they choose so long as they don't harm anyone else.
All of this apparent progress collapsed in 1871 when the more conservative Prussian code was imposed on the German states.

The 1871 Treaty of Washington made it quite clear to Canadian Prime Minister John A.

 Brahms and the German Spirit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
But even here, Helst's realism conveys an intimacy that is in keeping with the individualistic bent of the other wall hangings in Brahms's living quarters (while referencing the most momentous German war to precede the events of 1871).
Allegorical figures abound in Werner's fresco amid the motion-filled scenes of battles suggesting that the meaning of the events depicted are eternal, that the story of German unification narrated here is more than a current event, but rather part of an eternal drama of cosmic import.
Because Werner's images circumscribe a column, and are therefore inherently circular, the viewer literally concludes where he or she originated; there is no real beginning or ending in this fresco or, rather, they are one and the same.

The Yellowstone bill generated renewed discussions about Yosemite, and Jay Cooke's publicity events during 1871 and 1872 created an undercurrent of discussion in the popular press about the National Park idea.
As the economy made its way to recovery along with the railroads, rail companies took advantage of the parks to attract the income of new investors and sponsors to complete the rail lines.
