{{Conscription Crisis in Canada{{
Compulsory military service (Conscription) was pushed in many countries during WW1 and WWII
This was believed to be in the national interest
When WWII began, the Canadian Armed Forces were entirely made up of volunteers
Once the war began, PM William Lyon Mackenzie King introduced a limited form of conscription(promised to only defend Canada, if need be, and that they would not be sent overseas)
Conscription had been introduced in WWI after the allies had suffered great losses
It created a rift within Canadian society as some supported conscription’s and others did not
As casualties increased during WWII, King held a special vote to ask Canadian’s permission to break the promise he made at the start of the war
