26 million Women in the US got the vote
On August 26th 1920 Woodrow Wilson signed into law the 19th amendment to the Constituion of the United States giving 26million women the vote.
In November of that year 9 million women voted only a third of the eligible female electorate. Many of them were African Americans who had registered to vote wherever they were able from Massachusettes and Maryland to Ohio. Elsewhere black women had the right to vote in name only - denied access to the polls by individual states on grounds not specifically prohibited by the US Constitution many thousands of African American women and other women of colour would remain disenfranchised for decades to come. Recently there has been a very interesting 2 part documentary caled The Vote on PBS for anyone interested. |

And to show we were still a great Naval power even after all the fighting here is the Battleship HMS King George V in the foreground with the USS Missouri behind her.

The decline began at this moment Tom. You cannot sustain a wartime fleet in peacetime... and then the Cold War came along.

Today in 1939 Britain declared war on Germany in response to the German invasion of Poland. Later in the day France followed suit. |
