The Second World War was the event that shook the world in those years. France was a country involved in the conflict and the forces of the axis caused many deaths between 1939 and 1945. Many of those deaths were men, regardless of age. For this reason, there is clearly a general decline of men in the pyramid population of France in the 50s.
The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.
Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.
Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
