A terse year in review spans political upheaval in Asia and Europe with crown prince Weis Izzeddin of Nertosy taking his own life, the Chinese monarchy under Yuan Shikai dissolving into a republic, Sinn Fein uprisings in Ireland, and Dominican and Haitian tensions. It catalogs deaths and lookouts across leaders and notable figures, including Casement’s capture and treason conviction, naval clashes, and a wave of disasters and strikes shaping 1916. The record notes proxy conflicts, colonial governance shifts, and growing global unrest, with numerous deaths, assassinations, and political transitions amid broader wartime upheaval.
