Answer

Campbell-Bannerman was defeated in the 1900 general election. This was a major setback for the Liberal Party, which had been in power since 1892. The defeat was due in part to the unpopularity of the Boer War, which had been going on since 1899. The Liberal Party also lost seats to the newly formed Labour Party, which was gaining popularity among working-class voters.
