These Timelines are a detailed look at the time and the influence of Cycles. Significant events of the decade are analyzed through Twelve categories that serve as a kaleidoscopic lens through time, (see the clickable links above), as well as the position of Cycles at the time, (see the clickable folder links in the upper left corner). You can read and link up and down vertically through this Timeline, or, you can go any Category and link horizontally to the same Category in other Timelines (links are provided at the head of each Category). This cross linking is designed to provide a fast and easy way to make reading fun and interesting.
See the go to Overview here link near the top for a brief look at Cycles for this decade.
See the Matrix links above left for navigating through all Overviews and Timelines by Time, Subject, or Cycle as described in Introduction to Part II).
Note to readers: Work from the Kala-Rhythm archives is being offered here in the Timelines for the first time. We are allowing a view into the Timelines now by posting both the finished and the unfinished pages of the Timelines as editing from our references continues. Unfinished pages (like this one) contain raw data from history sources to which we give credit in our "biblio/webography". Check back for updates to this and other pages.

The Platt
Amendment. The US established in Cuba a military government headed by Major Gen

a constitution for the new nation. As a condition for the withdrawal of Am
forces, the delegates were compelled to accept provision that had been passed by
Congress as a rider to an army appropriations bill. These provision, known
collectively as the Platt Amendment after their sponsor, Republican Senator
Orville J. H. Platt of Connecticut stipulated that (1) Cuba would sign no treaty
impairing its sovereignty without the consent of the US; (2) Cuba would not
incur a debt unless the interest could be met out of current revenues; (3) th US
could intervene to preserve the independence or the political and social
stability of Cuba; and (4) Cuba would grant to the US land of the establishment
of naval bases. (Under the terms of the last clause the US built at Guantanamo
Bay in the eastern part of the island a naval station, which it continues to
operate). [what mo.? move to 1901.dat?]

Independent industries grew
to new dimensions. Just in 1900 and 1901 before the Crossover; the New
Carnegie Steel Company became the largest to incorporate to date, and J. P.
Morgan incorporated the US Steel Corporation as the first billion dollar
corporation. Morgan then bought out Carnegie in a merger that was one of
more than 20 mergers to take place in the iron and steel industry in the
last two years before the Crossover. DAT^
U.S. Steel is a former Dow Jones Industrial Average component listed from
April 1, 1901 to May 3, 1991. It was removed under its USX Corporation name
with Navistar International and Primerica Corporation.
The formation of the US
Steel Corp in February 25, 1901 was one of the earliest examples of investment bankers
dominating industry. From thereon, investment institutions gained more
control over industry. They owned a significant portion of stock in
corporations and had more influence than the many absentee stock holders or
those holders who had no voting privileges. Banks and Ins. companies gained
control in corps either through holding a majority of voting stock or though
granting conditional loans which returned powers. (int. 4th?)

The New Carnegie Steel Company is incorporated in New Jersey in direct
defiance of the Sherman Anti-trust Law which by this time has no teeth in it
at all. Capitalization of the new corporation amounts to a dazzling
$160,000,000. It is the largest and most controversial incorporation to
date. In April, the largest quarterly dividend payment ever offered will be
paid by the Standard Oil company for the first quarter or 1900 amounting to
$20,000,000. Only 14 percent of this sum is regular quarterly dividends;
eighty-five percent is sheer profit.

Electrical inventor Peter Cooper Hewitt built on the mid-19th
century work of German physicist Julius Plücher and glassblower Heinrich
Geissler. By passing an electric current through a glass tube containing
tiny amounts of a gas, Plücker and Geissler found they could make light.
Although the seals leaked and soon let in too much air to allow the effect,
glowing Geissler Tubes became a scientific novelty.
