The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.

Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls.  During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged.  The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax," and added:  "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Vlad [161]

Correct answer:  Russia's withdrawal from the war (World War I).

Russia withdrew from The Great War (which we now call World War I) after the Bolshevik Revolution brought Vladimir Lenin and the communists to power.  Revolutionary activity broke out in Russia in February, 1917 -- during the time of World War I.   Germany and Russia were on opposite sides in that war, and the German authorities helped Lenin, in exile, return to Russia in order to foment further revolution there and hurt the Russian government's ability to wage war in Europe.  The major revolution in Russia, known as the Bolshevik Revolution, occurred in the fall of 1917.  In March 1918, the new Soviet Russia government under Lenin ended its participation in the war, signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

President Truman fired General MacArthur for insubordination. Although Truman was committed to waging a limited war in Korea, preferring to negotiate with China and North Korea rather than expand hostilities, MacArthur openly disagreed with the president and threatened to attack China if it did not agree to terms of peace.
