The Right to Vote
•
In 1890 two organizations led the way for women’s right to
vote, the national women’s suffrage association, and the
American woman suffrage association. Eventually they
merged into one organization known as the national American
woman’s suffrage association. The women who were
members had to struggle against the beliefs of many
Americans that women were naturally subordinate to men. At
that time though women in Wyoming and Utah had already
had the right to vote since 1870. The first significant progress
came when women in several states such as Washington,
New York, California eventually won the right to vote during
1910-1917.
• After turmoil WW1
and war broke out in
Europe in 1914, the United States
remained a neutral state until 1917
where they entered the war. Prior to
entering the war though they played
role in the victory of the allies as they
would help supply British forces. By the
end of the war, unlike many other
European nations, the united states
became a creditor nation and not a
debtor nation meaning they became the
ones to hand out loans to countries to help
rebuild and reconstruct.
