The 19th century was the time period between 1800 and 1901. It was a busy time, because lots of things were going on at once. For example, there was the Civil War, the American Indian Genocide, the Mexican War, and the Spanish-American War, all in the 19th century. The 19th century was also the time of cowboys and Indians in the West, and the Industrial Revolution in the East.
Britain was the most powerful nation for the whole of the 19th century.
