    The British, and later Canadian, Foreign Enlistment Acts prohibited service in foreign militaries and recruitment for those foreign militaries. Despite these legal prohibitions, Canadians have often served in large numbers in foreign militaries, such as 35,000 to 50,000 volunteers in the American Civil War, 1,700 volunteers in the Spanish Civil War, and more than 30,000 volunteers in the Vietnam War. Very few Canadians have been prosecuted for either foreign military service or recruiting, and all examples identified occurred during the American Civil War.
