Timeline of the Ides of March

March 20th 1916: Ota Benga, a Mbuti man who lived in America, killed himself. Ten years earlier, he had been exhibited at the St. Louis World Fair and the Bronx Zoo.

Benga was born in the Congo Free State. At some point, his tribe was attacked by a militia acting on behalf of the Belgians, killing his wife and two children. Benga was captured by slavers and eventually purchased by American Samuel Verner, who sent him to St. Louis.

Here, he was exhibited as part of a human zoo. Verner was disquieted by how he was effectively imprisoned by the fair, and Benga eventually ended up in the American Museum of Natural History.

Here, again, Benga was presented as a savage, and despite initially finding some enjoyment at the museum he became tired and homesick.

In 1906 Verner took Benga to the Bronx Zoo. Here, he took care of the animals, but the director noticed he drew a lot of attention. Eventually, Benga ended up being put on display alongside the monkeys.

The display promoted great outrage amongst many, especially from the African-American press, although the New York Times defended the exhibit. Benga was eventually allowed to roam the grounds but he was constantly antagonised by visitors.

Eventually Benga was removed and worked in a tobacco factory. Trying to find a way back to his home in Africa, conscious of having been humiliated and demeaned, he became progressively more depressed. With the outbreak of war, safe passage to the Congo became impossible. In 1916, he built a ceremonial fire and shot himself in the heart.

'Two-Spirit' is a modern term encompassing the broad Native American view of 'third gender' individuals.
(Image: Osh-Tisch, who lived as a female.)

Concepts of gender differed by tribe, but generally Two Spirits were seen as special in some way. As the name implies, they were seen as having two spirits in the same body, which could grant extra wisdom, creativity or insight. In some tribes like the Illinois, they were seen as wise and advice was often sought from them.
Sometimes, this view of Two Spirits as special could translate as fear, and it sometimes they could be seen as malicious, especially in the wake of natural disasters. Generally, however, they were well integrated until the European arrival.
The European conquest of the Americas led to Two Spirits being persecuted. They were referred to as 'berdache,' a name considered insulting. Recently, the Two Spirit concept has been revived.

Compare: Fa’afafine, a traditional Samoan third gender. Biological men who identify as women, they have their history rooted in tradition and were sometimes treated with reverance, like Two Spirits.

Fa’afafine were (and are) expected to carry out womanly jobs around the house. Sometimes, if there was an excess of boys born into a family, one might be chosen to be raised as a Fa’afafine - usually, however, it was not forced upon children and depended upon how they acted when young.

Social Democracy: An Alternate History is a text-based game where you play as the SPD from 1928. In it, you have to defend the SPD's interests and try to fend off the tide of anti-democracy parties. It is, as far as I can see, very difficult, but well researched.

On the 8th of April 1904 one of the most consequential agreements in modern history was reached; the Entente Cordiale. Whilst outwardly a minor agreement over fishing rights and boundaries between Britain and France, it brought to a close a thousand years of enmity between the two countries and began their movement towards alliance as a great war in Europe drew closer.
