Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Appletons´ Annual Cyclopædia, Vol. 2 of 17: And Register of Important Events of the Year, 1877 The year 1877 witnessed the culmination of many very important events, and perhaps the commencement of others which may, in a still greater degree, involve the welfare of mankind. The war between Russia and Turkey closed with the defeat of the latter, causing Europe to be extremely agitated lest the great military position of Constantinople should come into the hands of the conqueror. The election of the President of the United States was determined in peace, although it awakened in many quarters fearful anticipations of the future. The strife of principles, the seething of opinions, the struggles of interests, and the aims and efforts of noble and ignoble passions, and the industries of mankind during the year, are fully portrayed in these pages. The great conflict in Europe has involved the highest diplomacy of the age, and the latest improvements in military skill and science, all of which are set forth in the article "Turkey," and in those treating of "Ordnance," "Torpedoes," etc. Nor is the ever-recurring "Eastern Question" overlooked, with its complications. A survey of the commerce of the civilized world is given in "International Commerce," and the intermingling and ever-flowing streams of all nations, the swelling volumes and the ebbs, with the causes of the rise and depression of each. The "Currency," a great question before the public of the United States, with its varying standards, was discussed in Congress, in conventions, in books and reports, all of which is so presented as to illustrate the principles involved and present the facts on which they rest. In the United States the "Electoral Commission" peacefully took the place of Congress in determining who should be President; and the quiet of the country was undisturbed except by the conflicts between labor and capital, which led to fearful, and in some places destructive, "Labor-strikes." Meanwhile the civil governments in all the Southern States were entirely abandoned by the Federal Government to the care and reconstruction of their own citizens, whether black or white.
