Was that the year when proportional representation in a General Election was first used to decide the number of Parliamentary seats won by each party standing for election to the Chamber?
Different sort of conditions, but you're in the right area.

Thinking in terms of railway parlance instead, was 1921 the year when the missing of a red signal resulted in a collision between two trains that involved fatalities, all of which were persons of note.
Afraid not, your first answer was a lot closer!

Something about the monarchy?
No, sorry.
The conditions came with - and in English are usually named after - a certain number.

Economic deterioration led to the employers proposing a massive wage cut which led to a General Strike in which the seamen played a major part. That strike failed as the Government took steps to take over the merchant fleet and protected the replacement crews.
No, though trade unions would certainly have been involved.

Inability to hold an election due to severe weather?
The trouble had an effect on the election held in that year, but was not directly related to it.

An infestation of lemmings.
Not the answer.
Said number can be found using the digits of the year 1921.
If there's no progress by tomorrow, I'll solve and let someone else take over.

Something happened in the village of Tretten?
Still nothing to do with the railway I'm afraid.

The original Catch 22? ((9+1+1)x2=22.)
Not maths either.

Ocean's Thirteen surely.
In 1921 the Norwegian Labour Party acceeded - with a significant minority splitting away over the issue - to the twenty-one conditions, as part of a brief and (for the centre-left of Western Europe) unique four-year episode where it was also the local section of the Communist International.
