jan 1, 1863 - Indo-European Telegraph System

Description:

The 11 000 kilometre journey between the capital of england and their largest and most important colony, india meant that it would take days for information to transfer between the two. So when the Indo-European Telegraph was revealed in 1863 that could send a message in 28 minutes, it revolutionised the colony.
