It is sometimes called 'the draft' or 'national service'. In Australia, conscription was a very controversial issue in the early 1900's and at the time of the Vietnam War, and to a lesser extent during World War II, it was very evident in World War I also. People's actions about conscription for Vietnam War raised public awareness and helped the election of a new government that stopped the conscription scheme Notes Includes index Audience For upper primary aged children Subject Citizenship.
