The Act of Union 1800 merged the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain (itself a merger of England and Scotland under the Act of Union 1707) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 January 1801. The Act was passed by both the British and Irish parliaments. The Irish parliament had been given a large measure of independence by the Constitution of 1782, after centuries of being subordinated to the English (and later, British) Parliament. Thus, many members had guarded its autonomy jealously, i ...

The practice of institutionalizing the blind in asylums has a history extending back over a thousand years, but it was not until the 18th Century that authorities created schools for them where blind children, particularly those more privileged, were usually educated in such specialized settings. These institutions provided simple vocational and adaptive training, as well as grounding in academic subjects offered through alternative formats. Literature, for example, was being made available to blind students by way of embossed roman letters. ...

With the loss of the Vatican and the pope's other temporal power, the cardinals were left in a remarkable position. They were forced to hold the conclave in Venice, making the conclave the last to-date to be held outside Rome. This followed an ordinance issued by Pius VII of 1798 in which was stated that the conclave, in such a situation, would be held in the city with the greatest number of Cardinals among the population. The Benedictine monastery of San Giorgio was the chosen location of the conclave within Venice. The city, along with other northern Italian land, was at the time held by Austria, whose ...

Papal conclave 1800 - Pope Pius VI. Pius VI's reign had been marked by tension between his authority and that of the European monarchs and other institutions; secular and ecclesiastical. This was largely due to his moderate liberal and reforming pretences. At the beginning of his service he promised to continue the work of his predecessor, Pope Clement IV, in whose 1773 publication Dominus ac redemptor, the dissolution of the Society of Jesus was announced. Other pro-Jesuit powers remained in his support t ...

The Battle of Marengo on 14 June 1800 saw the regaining of northern Italy by the French from the Austrians. Following this promotion, Bonaparte decided to recognise the new Pope and restored the Papal states to those borders set out at Tolentino. The new Pope headed for Rome which he entered to the pleasure of the population on 3 July. Fearing further invasion he decreed the state should remain neutral between Napoléonic Italy in the north and Bourbonic Naples. In 1803 the reinstatement of the Papal states was made official by the Tr ...

The conclave of 1800 had several unique features and occurrences which render it quite estranged from not only many of its predecessor conclaves, but also all those successive gatherings to date. Foremost, it is the last to be held outside Rome, in this case Venice. In fact, all conclaves since the Western Schism (1378) have been held in Rome with this as a sole exception. As may be seen in the graph on the left, the conclave was conducted with the lowest number of cardinals present since 1534 at 34. Indeed, due to the political situation in which the church found itself at the time it had just 45 card ...

U.S. presidential election 1800 - Campaign. This election was a rematch of the 1796 election. Adams was attacked by both the opposition, who felt that his policy was too favorable toward Britain and too hostile toward France and hated his Alien and Sedition Acts, and his own Federalist Party, who considered him too moderate. Federalist leader Alexander Hamilton schemed to elect Vice Presidential candidate Charles Pinckney instead an ...

The Austrian troops (about 31,000 men, and 100 guns) advanced from Alessandria eastwards across the Bormida River by two bridges debouching in a narrow bend of the river (the river being not easily crossed elsewhere). This prevented any rapid development of their attack ; the movement began about 6 a.m. , but the attack was not fully developed until 9 a.m. The Austrian advanced guard (a force of 3300 men under Major General Andreas O'Reilly) pushed French outposts back and deployed to become the Austrian right wing. The Austrian ...

The members of the House of Representatives balloted as states to determine which of Jefferson and Burr would become President. An absolute majority of the states was required for victory. While it was common knowledge that Jefferson was the candidate for President and Burr for Vice President, the lame-duck House was controlled by the Federalists, who were loath to vote for Jefferson, their partisan nemesis. Over the course of the six days, the House cast a total of 35 ballots, with Thomas Jefferson receiving the votes of 8 sta ...

The assassination prompted a large-scale wave of anti-Jewish riots, called pogroms throughout 1881-1884. In the 1881 outbreak, pogroms were primarily limited to Russia, although in a riot in Warsaw twelve Jews were killed, many others were wounded, and women were raped while over two million rubles worth of property was destroyed. The new czar, Alexander III, blamed the Jews for the riots and issued a series of harsh restrictions on Jewish movements, but large numbers of pogroms continued until 1884, with at least tacit government approval. ...
