How did different governments recruit soldiers in the past decades?

I was wondering how my ancestors would join the army in the 18-19th's (mainly eastern European countries, like Belarus (who was probably part of the Russian empire at that time) or Poland. If anyone could answer me, I would be very glad.

Hey there! If this question doesn't get any responses, you might resubmit it with the "18th-19th century Eastern Europe" right in the title. That can help people with knowledge of that era see it and be interested.

Good luck!
