Conscription in the U.S. is know as the "draft" and also more formally as the "Selective Service Act". Conscription was used to fill vacancies when there were not enough volunteers for the military. The Military and Service Act required all males between the ages of 18-26 to register and compelled, a polite way of saying "forced" males into military service when needed during times of war and necessity. During the Vietnam War in the 1960's and 70's, numerous individuals rebelled and burned their "draft cards" which had stated their requirement in joining the military through a lottery system. To this day the system of a draft exists and all males must register upon turning 18 and be available, if called upon, for training until 39 years of age.

What did Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau wanted from the Treaty of Versailles?
Schach [20]
 <span>Wilson wanted a just peace, no harsh reparations, and an international body to resolve conflicts peacefully. His ideas were embodied in his '14 Points', which unfortunately he gave to the Germans without consulting his allies. 
Clemenceau wanted a very harsh peace, the return of French territories captured in the 1870 war (Alsace and Lorraine), reparations, and the demilitarisation of Germany. 
Lloyd-George sort of fell between the two, but domestic politics and the desire for revenge forced him closer to Clemenceau. He also wanted control of German colonies to take away this threat to the British Empire.</span>
