Question

what did conscription mean

Accepted Answer

Conscription (mandatory enlistment to the army) meant that every man, no matter his class, was
forced to fight. Many rich families lost their fathers, brothers, and sons, along with the lower
classes. Many rich families also lost their wealth, and many estates were also lost. Not only was
there less difference between the classes: there were fewer upper class people altogether.
