In October 1940, the Selective Training and Service Act was enacted in the United States, requiring all men between the ages of 21 and 36 to register for the draft. This marked the first peacetime draft in American history and laid the foundation for the conscription of troops during World War II.

What was the American system that chose men to go to war?
It was called the draft. The US started drafting men in 1940, the year after the war in Europe began, but a year before the US got into the war. It was the first peacetime draft ever in American history. The US continued drafting men from 1940 right through to 1973, when public disgust with the Vietnam War ended the draft, and the US went to the all-volunteer forces we have today. You have to pay volunteers a lot more, though. Those selected for"induction" into the service were chosen by a lottery. First, all the men eligible to be drafted registered with their local draft board. Each was assigned a number. The first man to register with a local board was number 1, the second number 2, and so on. The local board with the most registrants in 1940 had over 6600 men registered. So, 6600 little capsules, each with a unique number, were put in a large drum that could be spun. Numbers were drawn one at a time. If it was, for instance "743", then every man from every draft board who was 743 was selected. The Army knew how many of every number there were, and kept up with how many were already selected, and they kept drawing numbers until they had enough. By the time of Vietnam they were still using a lottery, but they had switched to birthdays. 365 little capsules, one for each day of the year, were put in the drum. If your birthday was drawn, you were a winner!

What year was the draft introduced in ww II?
In the US the draft began in 1940, while the US was still at peace. This was the first peacetime draft in American history. The draft law allowed drafting one million men for one year's service. The law came up for renewal in August 1941, three months before Pearl Harbor. The renewal of the draft passed Congress by the margin of a single vote. None of the original one million men drafted got out, either, which aggravated them more than just a little. They were in "for the duration" of the war, which most people knew the US would get into sooner or later. The US continued drafting men for the service from 1940 right through 1973.

What year did the draft start during world war 2?
The US draft for World War II started in October of 1940 - it was the first peacetime draft in US history. President Franklin Roosevelt did this because, although there was not enough popular support to open enter World War II (Pearl Harbor fixed that later on), he knew someday they would enter, and he wanted to be prepared in order to make the war as short and bloodless as possible. That required a large mass of trained civilian soldiers. In 1940, men between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five were required to register, and the term of service was one year. However, once the US entered the war, they needed far more soldiers than they predicted. On December 19, 1941, the President allowed the extension of the draft, with a few changes. The age for registration was now between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five, but only those ages eighteen to forty-five available for immediate conscription. Those drafted also had to serve the length of the war plus six months. The WW2 draft lasted from 1940 to 1947, when the bill expired. Around eleven million men were drafted into service during these eight years.
