U.K. Jan-Apr 1911

- A shootout takes place in London between police and an anarchist cell, ending in the anarchist hideout burning to the ground. For a short period the police are given more power in London and in Birmingham to deal with anarchist groups.

- Troops are dispatched to British Honduras to prevent a spillover of the conflict in Mexico

- A national census finds the U.K. population at 45 million.

- The British military finalises designs for the Lewis light machine gun, with mass production to begin next year.

- British aviators attempt to recreate the feat performed by Eugene Ely to limited success: the plane lands on the deck of the warship, but overshoots and carries on over the edge of the ship. The military however expresses interest in the concept.

- Corporal punishment is banned in schools.
