The 19th Amendment provided men and women with equal voting rights. The amendment states that the right of citizens to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." It guaranteed women the constitutional right to vote. This amendment was necessary because the 15th amendment made it illegal for the federal or state government to deny any US citizen the right to vote. This amendment didn't include women, though. The 19th amendment changed this because it made it illegal for any citizen, regardless of gender, to be denied the right to vote. The movement to allow women the right to vote was the Suffrage movement. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were two major figures in this movement. They campaigned against any amendment that denied women the right to vote.

To a large extent this was the product of the formation of new states in Germany and Italy, and political reformations in older, established states, such as Britain and Austria. This internal stability, along with the technological advances of the industrial revolution, meant that European states were increasingly able and willing to pursue political power abroad.
