Answer

1896 was the year Rosebery resigned as leader of the Liberal Party. This was due to a disagreement with other members of the party over the issue of Irish Home Rule. Rosebery believed that the party should support Irish Home Rule, while others, such as Lord Hartington, did not. This disagreement led to Rosebery's resignation.
