On This Day
On this day in 1922, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. This landmark decision marked a significant victory in the fight for gender equality and political representation.
On this day in 1933, the Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany, was set on fire, a pivotal event in the establishment of Nazi dictatorship. The fire was used as a pretext by the Nazis to crack down on political opposition and consolidate their power.
On this day in 1951, the 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, limiting the President to two terms in office. This amendment was a direct response to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four terms as President, and aimed to prevent any future leader from amassing too much power.
