My best guess is the selective service act (s.s.a.)

The system employed in the US for recruitment during WWI was <u>formally denominated Conscription but commonly known as the draft.</u>

<u> </u>President Wilson, in 1917, decided to implement this mechanism in order to reach the 1 million target after the failure of voluntary enlistment that only recruited 73,000 volunteers. In order to optimize the contribution of each person, depending on his personal skills, the The Selective Service Act of 1917 was carefully designed and enacted to achieve so. It turned military service into a liability for all US male citizens, initially those who were between 21 and 31, and later on those between 18 and 45, to enhance the recruitment numbers. It was not possible to be exempted from this military service.

Describe the beliefs, concerns, and goals of the Soviet Union and the United States that contributed
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

At the end of the Second World War, the Allied side, which was formed mainly by the powers of the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France, divided itself in ideological terms into two distinct camps, led by the United States and the Soviet Union, respectively. Thus, the side led by the United States, called the Western bloc, advocated the imposition of a democratic and capitalist system throughout the planet with a fundamental respect for the individual freedoms of citizens, both in social and economic terms. On the other hand, the Soviet Union came to lead in the eastern bloc, with clearly communist ideas, which promoted the creation of an authoritarian system in which the government would centralize economic, political, civil and social decisions both at a general level as well as in the particular scope of each one of the citizens.

In this way, these two antagonistic views of the world began to collide, since both powers sought to expand their spheres of influence through the imposition of their system in other countries. This situation, motivated by the power struggle between both powers, gave rise to the Cold War.
