Largescale working class protests occurred in Berlin over the Prussian three class franchise which gave the wealthiest 1/5th of German voters 2/3s of the seats in the German parliament. Bayonets were used on protestors, but nobody was killed.
This was part of the system which lead to the German revolution of 1918 which brought down the monarchy and lead to the end of World War One, something that our current political overlords may wish to remember, given the current oligarchic nature of the United States.
The name of San Pedro Bay was changed to Los Angeles Harbor.
I hate these geographic name changes.
