On 18 May 1917 President Woodrow Wilson signed the Selective Service Act, which created the Selective Service System that drafted young American men to fight in WW1. Although some 2.8 million men were drafted, it is worth noting that the single most important fight against the Germans was the U.S. Marine victory at Belleau Wood. The Marines - all volunteers - stopped the German advance on Paris after the French and British armies collapsed.
