Yes. In some countries there was compulsory universal military service even before the war - that was pretty much the norm in Europe. Britain had a tiny army, and relied on volunteers for the first year and a half, but as the horrors of the war became widely known volunteering dried up and Britain resorted to conscription. Immediately after the US entered the war Congress enacted a draft law. It was a very, very bad time to be a healthy young man.

∙ 9y agoIn war, many countries do not have a suffiecient volunteer military. This forces a country to place a draft on a certain age group (usually young and fit for combat). Many countries in World War II, including the United States forced men to enlist. Note* The official term for forced enlistment is Selective Service.

∙ 14y agoDepends on which nation you are asking about. The US started to draft soldiers and then they would be forced to fight if they passed the medical test(to see if they were healthy enough).
