Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the only option that accurately reflects a significant political development that occurred during the stated time period. The creation of the Labour Party in 1900 was a major shift in British politics, as it marked the emergence of a new political force that would eventually replace the Liberals as the main opposition to the Conservatives.

None of the other options accurately reflect developments during this time period. Disraeli was a Conservative, not a Liberal, and while Gladstone was associated with the Liberal Party, he was not dominant in Parliament during this time period. Suffrage did expand during this time period, but not to the extent suggested by option B - only a small number of women were granted the right to vote before 1914. There is no evidence to suggest that a flat income tax was introduced to fight inflation, nor that strikes among miners were rare during this period.
