During world war I the US did have a draft. When the Us first entered the war in 1917 there were about 129,000 men enlisted. The US knew this would not be enough so they issued a draft saying men 21-30 years old had to sign up for the draft. In 1918 this age was changed to the ages of 18-45. By the end of the war there were approx. 5 million US men and women as soldiers and nurses in Europe.
