After which scandal floundered Bowell's government in 1895?

  • Pacific Scandal

  • RRP Scandal

  • Manitoba Schools Question

  • Naval Service Act Crisis

Answer

The Manitoba Schools Question, a dispute over the rights of Catholics to operate separate schools in Manitoba, caused Bowell's government to falter in 1895. The controversy divided both the Conservative Party and the country, leading to the defeat of Bowell's government in the 1896 general election.
