One political decision made by the Axis powers to mobilize its population in World War II was the implementation of mandatory conscription for men of fighting age. This decision forced millions of men into military service, greatly expanding the Axis military forces. While this decision may have been effective in increasing the size of their armies, it also resulted in widespread resentment and resistance among the population. Additionally, the forced conscription led to a significant loss of manpower in industries and agriculture, further weakening the Axis powers' overall war effort. Ultimately, this decision may have contributed to the eventual downfall of the Axis powers in World War II.
