On May 21, 1881, Clara Barton and a group of acquaintances established the American Red Cross in Washington, DC. When he visited Europe after the civil war, Burton first heard about the Swiss style International Red Cross movement. After returning home she exercised for the American Red Cross and approved the protection of the Geneva Convention worn by the war ratified by the United States in 1882. Barton led the Red Cross for 23 years, during which he carried out the first domestic and foreign relief efforts, helped the US military during the Spanish-American war, and successfully adopted peace-time relief activities in the International Red Cross movement. The so-called "amendment of the United States" initially encountered some resistance in Europe.
