Note on the method
Compiled from the 451 archive chunks that mention 1895 (2,251,654 characters), reduced to 129 dated sentences and then to 30 distinct statements after duplicate and near-duplicate removal. Entries are the events that survived - not a narrative history of the year. Undated items are omitted: a thing that merely mentions 1895 while belonging to another year is not an event of 1895.
