Most of the 4 million Americans who served during World War I were recruited through the Selective Service Act of 1917, which established a draft system. This law required men aged 21 to 30 to register for military service, later expanded to ages 18 to 45. Additionally, the U.S. government launched extensive Propaganda campaigns to encourage voluntary enlistment and foster patriotism, appealing to citizens' sense of duty and national pride. By the end of the war, nearly 2.8 million men were drafted, while many others enlisted voluntarily.
