The 26th amendment to the U.S. constitution changed the voting age. This amendment was approved the U.S. congress on March 23, 1971. A significant contextual element at the time was the Vietnam War.

<em>C. Feared the spread of communism.</em>
Explanation:
Harry Truman got the United States involved in the Korean War because he thought that if nothing were to be done, communism would spread.

A German term meaning "living space"
Explanation:
The term Lebensraum was coined by the German geographer, Friedrich Ratzel (1844-1904). During the last two decades of the 19th century, Ratzel developed a theory according to which the development of all species, including humans, is primarily determined by their adaptation to geographic circumstances.
Above all, Ratzel considered species migration as the crucial factor in social adaptation and cultural change. He went on to argue that, in order to remain healthy, species must continually expand the amount of space they occupy, for migration is a natural feature of all species, an expression of their need for living space.
