History

“	The last resort for a ruler needing soldiers was the forced enlistment of available able-bodied men into military service. This compulsory draft of manpower, or conscription, was disruptive and unpleasant, and a step not taken lightly. Unless conscripts were well led and highly motivated, they usually performed poorly - but conscription did put soldiers into the field quickly, and this could make the difference in an emergency.	”
