## Summary

### Political and military

The year 1900 was the end of the [19th century](/source/19th_century) and the beginning of the [20th century](/source/20th_century). Two days into the new year, the [U.S. Secretary of State](/source/United_States_Secretary_of_State) [John Hay](/source/John_Hay) announced the [Open Door Policy](/source/Open_Door_Policy) regarding [China](/source/Qing_dynasty), advocating for equal access for all nations to the Chinese market. The [Galveston hurricane](/source/1900_Galveston_hurricane) would become the [deadliest](/source/List_of_disasters_in_the_United_States_by_death_toll) [natural disaster](/source/Natural_disaster) in United States history, killing between 6,000 and 12,000 people, mostly in and near [Galveston, Texas](/source/Galveston%2C_Texas), as well as leaving 10,000 people homeless, destroying 7,000 buildings of all kinds in Galveston. As of [2025](/source/2025), it remains the [fourth deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record](/source/Atlantic_hurricane). An ongoing [Boxer Rebellion](/source/Boxer_Rebellion) in China escalates with multiple attacks by the [Boxers](/source/Boxer_movement) on Chinese and European civilians, killing hundreds; the rebellion would progress with the [Russian Empire's invasion of Manchuria](/source/Russian_invasion_of_Manchuria) and the [Battle of Peking (1900)](/source/Battle_of_Peking_(1900)). During the [Scramble for Africa](/source/Scramble_for_Africa), the [Battle of Kousséri](/source/Battle_of_Kouss%C3%A9ri) would see [French](/source/French_Third_Republic) forces secure their domination of [Chad](/source/Chad), which would become a [French colony](/source/French_Chad).

For [Britain](/source/British_Empire), developments such as the [Battle of Platrand](/source/Siege_of_Ladysmith#Battle_of_Platrand), [Battle of Spion Kop](/source/Battle_of_Spion_Kop) and the [Battle of Paardeberg](/source/Battle_of_Paardeberg) in the [Second Boer War](/source/Second_Boer_War) highlighted the harsh nature of [Boer](/source/Boers) [guerrilla tactics](/source/Guerrilla_warfare). The British [Labour Party](/source/Labour_Party_(UK)) was founded in 1900, emerging out of the [Labour movement](/source/Labour_movement) and [socialist parties of the 19th century](/source/History_of_the_socialist_movement_in_the_United_Kingdom); it would go on to become a major political force in Britain after the [First World War](/source/World_War_I).

1. [Botanist](/source/Botany) [Hugo de Vries](/source/Hugo_de_Vries) would rediscover [Mendel's laws of heredity](/source/Mendelian_inheritance), laying the foundation for the field of [genetics](/source/Genetics).
