Slavic and Scandinavian countries are very rich in resources, and Russia wanted to control most trade in Europe until the collapse of the Soviet Union. More trade = More power and they were still recovering after the HARD losses when the Germans' invaded Leningrad and the war.
I believe that one main reason why is 1. Woodrow Wilson (Who was a democrat) he believed that he did not need to bring anyone from the Senate, which was a Republican :) (I hope this helps!

Both compulsory and voluntary voting systems have merit, and this has to be considered if it were to be implemented in the U.S. A large benefit would be more voter representation. Democracy is very important to the united states, but low voter turnout means that it can be difficult for every person's voice to be heard. Furthermore, some people, like prisoners, don't get the right to vote, and this also hinders representation, especially concerning laws surrounding the justice system. However, a con of a mandatory system is that it Violates the freedom of choice, which in America value greatly. Free choice is an important right, and the government mandating voting can be seen as a violation of this. Making more people vote in incredibly needed yo have a healthy democratic country, but at the same time, it is also debatable whether mandatory voting is the best way to do it.
