Albert Lemaître classified 1st in his Peugeot 3hp in the 1894 Paris – Rouen ( motor race )

The Paris – Bordeaux – Paris race of June 1895 has sometimes been erroneously described as the " first motor race ", despite the 1894 event being decided by speed and finishing order of the eligible racers.

The tours generally had fewer Tests in the 1880s and 1890s than people have grown accustomed to in more recent years, the first five-Test series taking place only in 1894 – 95.

The 1894 – 95 series began in sensational fashion when England won the First Test at Sydney by just 10 runs having followed on.

It was the first time since 1894 – 95 that a team following on had won a Test match.

It has been compared with the great series of the distant past, such as 1894 – 95 and 1902.

Distrust of Germany, faith in the army, and native French anti-semitism combined to make the Dreyfus Affair ( the unjust trial and condemnation of a Jewish military officer for treason in 1894 ) a political scandal of the utmost gravity.

* 1894 – The Dreyfus affair: Alfred Dreyfus is arrested for spying.

In nineteenth-century France, the Dreyfus Affair ( 1894 – 99 ) contributed much to public interest in espionage.

The Dreyfus affair of 1894 only strengthened his activist stance.

In December 1894 the degradation of Captain Alfred Dreyfus was held before the main building, while his subsequent rehabilitation ceremony took place in a courtyard of the complex in 1906.

It involved the conviction for treason in November 1894 of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a young French artillery officer of Alsatian Jewish descent.

Suspicion quickly fell upon Captain Alfred Dreyfus who was arrested for treason on 15 October 1894.

Alfred Dreyfus ( ; 9 October 1859 – 12 July 1935 ) was a French artillery officer of Jewish background whose trial and conviction in 1894 on charges of treason became one of the most tense political dramas in modern French and European history.

Suspicion quickly fell upon Dreyfus who was arrested for treason on 15 October 1894.

; 1894: The Dreyfus affair makes the problem of antisemitism prominent in Western Europe.

Charles Marie Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy ( 16 December 1847 – 21 May 1923 ) was a commissioned officer in the French armed forces during the second half of the 19th century who has gained notoriety as a spy for the German Empire and the actual perpetrator of the act of treason of which Captain Alfred Dreyfus was wrongfully accused and convicted in 1894 ( see Dreyfus affair ).

The Dreyfus affair was triggered in September 1894 when an office cleaner at the German Embassy in Paris, who was also an agent of French military intelligence, passed her French contacts a handwritten memorandum ( widely known as the bordereau ), evidently written by an unnamed French officer, offering the German Embassy various confidential military documents.

Captain Alfred Dreyfus was picked by the Army as the alleged traitor in October 1894.

In the frames of this theme she directed – together with her students in 2007 / 2008 – an ample exhibition on the Dreyfus Affair ( 1894 – 1906 ), showing its entangled European context, its highly important civic extensions, and its specific reception in the continental Slovenian space and in Trieste, mostly based on spontaneous anti-Semitism.

The Dreyfus Affair occurred in 1894 and Le Rire was one of many publications to tap anti-Republican sentiment in wake of that scandal.

While in his youth an avid reader of the works of the nationalist writer Maurice Barrès, Blum had little interest in politics until the Dreyfus Affair of 1894, which had a traumatic effect on him as it did on many French Jews.

From the end of 1892 to September, 1894, Dreyfus went through his " stage " in the Staff Office, receiving excellent reports from all hands, except Colonel Fabre.

Allusion has been made several times ( since 1894 ) to a second " ultra-secret ” dossier that was composed of photographs of papers stolen from, and then given up to, the German embassy ; namely, seven letters from Dreyfus, and one said to be from the Emperor of Germany to Count Münster, naming Dreyfus.

The appeal of Dreyfus to the military court of revision — a formality — was rejected on December 31, 1894.

This rumor had been circulated by Matthew Dreyfus in the hope of shaking up the sluggishness of public opinion and to prepare the way for the pamphlet of Bernard Lazare demanding a fresh hearing of the case of 1894.
