Article in question: Political correctness
My proposed version of this section, draft ver 2.2:

First recorded usage
In 1793, the term "politically correct" appeared in a U.S. Supreme Court judgment of a political-lawsuit. By 1798 the term was used in Britain to discuss the public opinion, by 1804 it was being used in contexts such as below:"In  your paper on Monday [...] you offered some observations to your readers which were evidently well-meant though they were not politically correct"while by 1810 it was employed in literary criticism and in the debates in British Parliament. The term "politically correct" was used in the U.S. in print from 1832 and the very term "political correctness" from 1833 onwards. By the 1860s the terms have entered Australian political debates.

William Safire claims that the first recorded use of the term in the modern sense is by Toni Cade in the 1970 anthology The Black Woman.

WWI
During post-WWI occupation German papers were suspended for accusing "French colored Colonial troops" and for having "employed certain terms and expressions which they might better have omitted" due to the current political climate of "exaggerated accusations" against these colored troops and the paucity of independent sources.
