How did the United States build an army for World War 2?
The 1940 STSA instituted national conscription in peacetime, requiring registration of all men between twenty-one and forty-five, with selection for service by a national lottery. In the massive draft of World War II, 50 million men from eighteen to forty-five were registered, 36 million classified, & 10 million inducted. The army was built by conscription, or "the draft"

About World War I
World War I (World War One) refers to the major European centered war which took place from 1914 to 1918. World War I was fought in the trenches, with thousands of soldiers often dying to gain a few yards of empty ground. New, more deadly weapons and new rules of warfare decimated an entire British generation and caused people to question the meaning of life and all worldly institutions.
