Conscription in the US during WWI was not a high issue, as the US was only in WWI for ONE year, 1917 until 1918. Men drafted for mililtary service, had barely got into uniform, finished their training, and were shipped overseas, a few months later, the war was over...on the 11th month, 11th day, 11th hour (the original Veterans Day date). Vietnam lasted a little bit longer than one year, which gave time for men to go to college, get married, find a good job, have kids, buy a new house...THEN DRAFTED! That could be somewhat of a shock to the average fellow. There were some households in America, in which the father went off to war, while his son was in Junior High School, when the boy graduated from High School, the war was still going, and then he went to Vietnam. That's a pretty long war, when the parent and child get to fight in the same war.

What was conscrition and why did it occur during ww1?

How was propaganda used in australia during the conscription campaign of ww1?
Propaganda was used in Australia during World War I to sway public opinion towards conscription. It involved exaggerating the threat to Australia, questioning the loyalty of those who opposed conscription, and portraying conscription as necessary for the survival of the nation. This propaganda campaign divided the country, leading to two referendums on conscription in 1916 and 1917, both of which were defeated.

Yes, many French Canadians responded to the Mackenzie King government's attempt to impose conscription during World War II by abstaining from voting in the 1942 plebiscite on the issue. This was largely due to their opposition to conscription, stemming from historical grievances and concerns over the government's perceived disregard for their rights and interests. The low turnout and lack of support highlighted the deep divisions between English and French Canadians regarding military service and conscription during the war.
When did conscription finish in royal navy?
Conscription in the Royal Navy officially ended in 1960. The practice had been in place during both World Wars and was reintroduced in 1939 during World War II. After the war, it continued until the Cold War period, when the need for a larger peacetime military diminished, leading to the abolition of conscription. Since then, the Royal Navy has relied on voluntary enlistment.
