Propaganda in World War One
What is Propaganda? Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation aimed at serving an agenda. At its root, the denotation of propaganda is 'to propagate (actively spread) a philosophy or point of view'. The most common use of the term (historically) is in political contexts; in particular to refer to certain efforts sponsored by governments or political groups. (Wikipedia)
Why do we use Propaganda? Each of the nations which participated in World War One from 1914 -18 used propaganda posters. They used posters to: • justify their involvement to their own populace • As a means of recruiting men • A way to raise money and resources to sustain the military campaign. • To urge conservation
Why Posters? Television had not yet been invented Not everyone owned or had access to a radio Posters were the most effective means of getting a message across
Government Support Quite often propaganda is connected with negative emotions During the Great War the governments needed money for the war effort so they focused their efforts on posters aimed at raising money from citizens for the war effort
