Yes, men were drafted in both World War I and World War II. In the United States, the Selective Service Act of 1917 instituted conscription for World War I, while the Selective Service Act of 1940 established a peacetime draft that continued into World War II. Many other countries also implemented drafts during these conflicts to meet military personnel needs. Draft policies varied by country and were often influenced by the scale and duration of the wars.
