What happened on Thursday January 27, 1916?

Here's what happened on January 27, 1916:

• Military Service Act Introduces Conscription in UK During World War I, the British government passed the Military Service Act, which introduced mandatory military conscription for single men aged 18 to 41. This significant legislation fundamentally changed the nature of military recruitment, transforming the British armed forces from a volunteer-based model to a compulsory service system. The act included provisions for exemptions for men engaged in essential war work, those medically unfit, religious ministers, and conscientious objectors.
• Spartacus Letters First Published The Communist party's 'Spartacus Letters' were first published in Berlin, marking an important moment in the early development of communist political communication in Germany. These letters, likely written by revolutionary socialist leaders like Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, would play a significant role in spreading radical political ideas during the tumultuous period of World War I.
• Shipping Control Committee Established The British government formed the Shipping Control Committee during World War I, a strategic response to the critical importance of maritime logistics and naval supply chains. This committee was likely established to coordinate and manage shipping resources, ensure efficient maritime transportation, and support the war effort by optimizing naval logistics.
