Conscription, also known as mandatory military service, is the policy of requiring individuals to enlist in the armed forces. In Britain, it was introduced during World War I with the Military Service Act of 1916, which mandated that single men aged 18 to 41 enlist for military duty. This measure was implemented due to the high casualty rates and the need for more troops to sustain the war effort. Conscription was later reintroduced during World War II and remained in effect until 1960.
