conscription crisis
Near the end half of the war they were still in need of volunteer soldiers but no one was signing up so prime minister Robert Borden introduced conscription in the Military Service Act. The rule were if you were male between the ages of 20-45 you had to go to war. The English believed it was a good idea to help Great Britain but the French were outraged and believed they shouldn't have to go because it wasn't their battle to fight. This caused a big rift in French English relations. -
