The Vietnam War. It was a long debate over lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, which began during World War II and only intensified during the Vietnam War when young men who were practically being heavily obligated and sometimes forced/drafted to fight for their country were being denied the right to vote.
“Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” became a common slogan for a youth voting rights movement, and in 1943 Georgia became the first state to lower its voting age in state and local elections from 21 to 18.

What devastating historic event compelled many European countries to work together in order to prevent future conflicts?

gtnhenbr [62]

There are two examples. 1. World war 1. In which case, many countries formed a league in order to prevent such an event from happening again. The league is called the "League of Nations" which composed of many European countries but it was ineffective because of the little military backing it had because the U.S did NOT join the organization. Another example would be World war 2 in which became the deadliest and most causality rated war in history. Over 50 million people died. After the war, the United States became the leader of the free world and helped form the United Nations which is composed of about 193 nations out of 196-198 nations in the world. The League of nations disbanded and the United Nations took its place and still exist today as a peacekeeping organization.
