Overview
As the second year of the massive
Russo-Japanese War begins, more than 100,000 die in the largest world battles of that era, and the war chaos leads to a
revolution against the
Tsar.
Canada and the
U.S. expand west, with the
Alberta and
Saskatchewan provinces and the founding of
Las Vegas. The April
earthquake in
India, killing 20,000, foreshadows the
1906 earthquakes.
Year 1905 is also the
annus mirabilis of
Albert Einstein, publishing papers that laid the foundations of
quantum physics, introduces the
special theory of relativity, explains
Brownian motion and proves the
existence of atoms.
