Year 1911 marked by revolts and empire shifts
The piece surveys 1911 as a year of liberty movements and imperial reconfigurations. Chinese revolutionary momentum grows from October to Nanking, while Tripoli falls to Italy aided by aeroplanes. Russia and England back Persia’s crisis, and Britain’s Lords reform spurs Irish home rule prospects. Aviation feats close the year with long Mediterranean and continental flights.
