Universal manhood suffrage was introduced in Yonderre in 1903, allowing male citizens of Yonderre over the age of 25 to vote in [[Counties of Yonderre|Federal County]] elections while maintaining the [[Grand Vote]] for national elections. In 1915 voting rights were extended to eligible men 22 years of age, and in 1922 to women, a movement spearheaded by the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democrats]]. Yonderre pursued a strict policy of neutrality throughout the [[Great Wars]]. In the [[First Great War]], this included limiting exports and imports with warring nations, a policy that would prove to be a contributing factor in the 1909 [[Great Depression]] and its effects in Yonderre. The Great Depression briefly crippled the Yonderian economy and brought with it a long period of economic stagnation that lasted almost two decades until [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] [[Joanus X de Martigueux]] and the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democratic]] cabinet under [[Adolphe Heineau]] instituted major economic reforms in the 1920s that would prove succesful. Around the time of the [[Second Great War]] in the mid-1930s, Yonderian economic and industrial capacity was increasing, reaching pre-[[Great Depression]] levels again in the 1940s. | Universal manhood suffrage was introduced in Yonderre in 1903, allowing male citizens of Yonderre over the age of 25 to vote in [[Counties of Yonderre|Federal County]] elections while maintaining the [[Grand Vote]] for national elections.
