What Did it Mean to Be Brave In The Great War The Great War began on 18th July 1914 and ended on the 11th November 1918. During the first two years of fighting those who went away to fight had to volunteer, the soldiers were given the idea that “all the fighting will be over by Christmas” and that what they are doing is a “Great Adventure.” During the great war bravery was shown in many different ways. In the year 1916 the British Government passed the Military Service Act, the act specified that any man of sound body and mind can be called upon to fight unless they were widowed with children or ministers of a religion. Although there was a significant number of men who refused to fight, not because they were cowards but because they had genuine moral or religious objections, these men became known as conscientious objectors or “conchies”. Another group similar to this was the SADs or “shot at dawns” these men were sent to the war but after while decide they refused to fight or they purposely miss shots at the enemy.
It was mandatory for every white male age 18-45. In April 1862, the Confederacy adopted the draft. The draft was controversial, especially among the working class, because the rich could "buy their way out" for $300 or hire a substitute. The draft stopped in early 1973. In 1980, Congress re-instated the requirement that young men register with the Selective Service System.
These include; marshalling the American economy to meet the tremendous war needs of several million soldiers, raising a citizen's army of volunteers willing to be trained and to die for the Union, adopting war strategies for the Union Army, handling foreign affairs, dealing with the problem of slavery without destroying the democratic freedoms upon which the nation was founded. As Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, contended for the role of president in a nation engulfed by sectional division, the southern states were threatening to seclude themselves from the Union. The dynamic force at work in the crisis was southern perception of the Republican Party, not merely as a political opposition, but as a hostile, revolutionary
Alliance, Imperialism, nationalism and militarism were all political situations that European countries were dealing with. They were taking over each other's territories, building up their defenses and had people that were so loyal to their own nation they would do anything for their own country. This is where the assignation of Archduke Franz Ferdinand comes in. The effect of M.A.I.N help start WW1. Militarism is the principle or policy of maintaining a large military establishment.
One of the greatest crisis’s in Canada during WWI and WWII was conscription. Conscription means all able bodied men would be required to join the army. This subject divided the country, with the English-Canadians in support of the matter and the French-Canadians against the matter. (Cruxton and Wilson,118). The issue was dealt with differently in 1917 under the direction of Sir Robert Borden than it was during WWII under the direction of William Lion Mackenzie King.
President Wilson had to devise a plan that would provide the Allied Nations with their materials, supplies, food, and fresh troops.

In order to be successful, President Wilson had to unite the entire American population and make them work together toward the war effort. When World War I began in 1914, the majority
Propaganda was seen by many as another form of warfare, just as important to the end result as the actual fighting. It was used to encourage unity within a nation and justify countries’ involvement in the war. Propaganda was rife in many forms in both the allied and central countries throughout World War 1 The effect that propaganda had was immediate and it also had a lasting effect which went beyond the war period. Each of the nations which participated in World War One from 1914-18 used propaganda posters not only as a means of justifying involvement to their own populace, but also as a means of procuring men, money and resources to sustain the military campaign. The main purpose of propaganda in Australia was used to conscript soldiers to fight in the First World War At first Australia agreed to send 20,000 men and they used propaganda to put forward service as glamorous, prestigious and heroic.
In an interview Thomas O’Donnell explains “…at Fall River if a man has not got a boy to act as “back-boy” it is very hard for him to get along…in many cases discharging men in that work and put in men who have boys…and that has brought my circumstances down very much…our children are very often sickly of not having sufficient clothes, shoes, food or something” (64, 65). Any immigrant that didn’t have a child did not stand a chance to work in that factory. Although, some immigrants without children were lucky and did have work for a few months at a time, but were later let go for unnecessary
over sevent-five percent of agricultural workers in Ontario are temporary contract migrants. Due to the high amount of working hours and hard physical work that these labourers endure, it is not uncommon for workers to fall ill. However, many workers do not claim medical benefits in the scare that they will be deported back to their home, as more injuries mean more insurance premiums for employees. Not to mention, they are largely underpaid due to the fact that they are considered "independent contractors" and that they are not required to pay minimum wage
