This act forced all men ages 21-30 to sign up to be in the military.  As a result of this draft the US military reached numbers of around 10 million. The first of these drafted troops hit the battlefield that same year, but did have a big part in the war until a year after. With the draft troops the US was able to help the allied forces a lot against the Axis forces.

These were troops that were sent overseas to Europe to help the Allied Forces in World War l. When the US first declared war on Germany their total troops was less than 150,000 and at the end of the war upwards of 4 million Americans had served in the war.

There are a variety of stories of how doughboys became a thing. One explanation goes back to the mexican war of 1846-48, the American infantrymen made long treks of dirt over a dusty terrain, it gave them an appearance of being covered in flour or dough. The men were also covered in dust of adobe, which eventually turned into dobies, then finally turned into doughboys. ]]> 2020-12-10 18:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/burroughsco/emvwhcyxts13d814/wish/1007393342 gonzalezri https://padlet.com/burroughsco/emvwhcyxts13d814/wish/1007438759 A virus traveled from location to location and across the atlantic.
