The video explores the reasons behind Scottish recruitment in World War I, focusing on factors like propaganda, patriotism, Pals Battalions, peer pressure, and opportunities. Propaganda played a significant role through posters that emphasized pride, duty, and guilt. Patriotism and Scotland's military tradition also motivated many to enlist.
