Answer 1

Answer:

E) Women in many countries gained the right to vote in the years after the war.

Explanation:

Women played a great role on all fronts in World War One, serving with abnegation, heroism and patriotism. After the war, this gave a new momentum to the longtime feminist fight for equal political rights; it increased the political and social pressure for granting women the right to vote. In the US , this was finally granted by the 19th Amendment in 1920.
