Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: C - The drafts for the First and Second World Wars differed in that the draft for World War II began before the United States officially entered the conflict. Prior to the United States’ entry to the war, American servicemen were allowed to volunteer for British military service to aid their war effort. Approximately three million American men were drafted for WWI while 10 million were drafted for WWII. Neither draft conscripted women; both drafts conscripted African-Americans; and conscientious objectors were exempted from both drafts but only in limited, pre-determined cases.
