What did the government do to get people to fight in world war 1?
Conscription
How did the conscription debate divide Australian society in World War 2?
Yes, there are different aspects that divided the economy in ww1. the first reason was conscription; this was a term given to a law that was attempted to be made in ww1 times. if approved it meant that all men from 18-up would be forced to go to war. a lot of people disagreed with this and so the economy was split into agreers and disagreers of conscription. another reason was 'the white feather'. if a man did not go to war willingly he would usually be sent a white feather which symbolises cowardliness. some people agreed with the white feather and some people didn't so again this caused a division of economy. some people disagreed with war completely which would have caused debates.
Why was conscription introduced in World War 2 when the majority of people opposed it in World War 1?
The main reason that conscription was introduced in World War 2 was mostly because of how many soldiers died in WW2. Also, people realized that Hitler was committing mass genocide. The seven million innocent Jewish people that Hitler killed, were more than enough to silence those who disagreed with conscription.
Was conscription used in WW1?
No. The people of Australia voted "No" in two separate referendums.
What was a major event caused by Irish conscription in the civil war?
The anti-conscription riots.
