1901

1901 started with the unification of multiple British colonies in Australia on January 1 to form the Commonwealth of Australia after a referendum was finished in 1900, Subsequently, the 1901 Australian election would see the first Australian prime minister, Edmund Barton.

Following this, the Victorian Era would come to a end after Queen Victoria would pass away on January 22 after a reign of 63 years and 216 days, which was longer than those of any of her predecessors, Her son, Edward VII, succeeded her to the throne.

The date of Friday December 13 20:45:52 1901 is significant for modern computers because it is the earliest date representable with a signed 32-bit integer on systems that reference time in seconds since the Unix epoch.

For related reasons, many computer systems suffer from the Year 2038 problem.

Hence the computer system erroneously displays or operates on the time Friday December 13 20:45:52 1901.
