During World War I, both Britain and the United States included unnaturalized immigrants in their draft systems. In the U.S., the Selective Service Act of 1917 required all men aged 21 to 30, regardless of citizenship status, to register for the draft, meaning that many immigrants were subject to conscription. Similarly, in Britain, the Military Service Act of 1916 mandated that all men of military age, including those who had not yet been naturalized, could be conscripted into service. This led to diverse experiences for immigrants, as they navigated their loyalty and obligations in the context of their home countries and their new nations.
