The land lease programme aimed at providing military aid to any country whose defense was important to the security of United States. Earlier, Britain Prime minister, Winston Churchill asked for help against Hitler who was on the verge of invading Great Britain. This seemed risky for the United States and President Roosevelt addressed a speech to persuade the American citizens. In his speech, he argued out that the best immediate defense to the Americans would be the success of helping Britain to defend itself. Through this, America's interest in the survival of democracy in the whole world could be achieved, hence it was important to do everything to help the British Empire to defend itself. Unfortunately, the lead lease act was not passed until 1941.
<span>Herodotus and Thucydides take two different approaches in recording history. They are both considered fathers of their respective branches of historiography. Herodotus, although he has some interest in the facts, is mostly writing to entertain his audiences. He writes a history of the Persian Wars, but spends most of his time writing about the histories of different places involved in the story. He sensationalizes stories to make them more interesting, and changes facts in order to show a moral or lesson, and sometimes completely makes things up (like giant gold digging ants, ect.) Its unsure to what extent he consciously made these things up, or if he believed them and had just heard them from unreliable sources. There is truth to his writing, but one must consciously glean what is true from what is false, and go into his work knowing that you can't trust everything he says. </span>

Answer:
<h2>The Nineteenth Amendment and the Twenty-sixth Amendment</h2>
- The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.
- The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.
Context/details:
19th Amendment
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:
- <em>The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.</em>
- <em>Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>
The proposal to add such an amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but Congress did not pass the amendment till 1919 -- after the experience of women taking on greater roles in the country during the First World War. The amendment achieved ratification by a sufficient number of states and was added to the Constitution by August, 1920.
26th Amendment
During the 1960s in America, protests against the Vietnam War were active on college campuses across the country. Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote." Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.
The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971. It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.
The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:
- <em>Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.</em>
- <em>Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>
