Propaganda used posters and persuasion to get people to join the army to help with political and war damage in 1914.

It was very problematic because if they didn’t get enough food they could've died because of starvation and not just the main war focus. The war was a bloodbath with everyone in it, the death of all innocents in those cities. No one could do anything about it, all the lives of everyone involved will forever be in the hands of the people who killed them. Even if it was for an advantage, you always want to not include innocent people otherwise it’s a homicide, but I guess in their case it was just genocide since it was a large number of people. Even though they had a high advantage rather than a low one like the Anzac forces, The Anzac forces were able to slip away easily proving that the Turk’s …show more content…

Usually, you use persuasion by having both sides debate on what they demand, and what they’re going to give for it. It’s indeed hard to try and convince the German nation that it was a fair deal on how they were punished for their actions, which caused the war to start in the first place. Rupprecht's father, the King of Barvia, only wanted to talk about uniforms, while on the other hand, Rupprecht wanted to discuss the war.

During World War I, President Wilson established the Committee on Public Information (CPI), which was directed by George Creel and its main function was to promote the war effort via propaganda. One of the ways that they promoted the war effort was with the use of posters as seen above. These posters used various means of shaping the publics opinion about the war, who our enemy was, and our need to be involved. They also helped shape public support in recruitment, patriotism, and learning to sacrifice for ones country. As Clayton Funk argues in his article “Popular Culture, Art Education, and the Committee on Public Information During World War I, 1915-1919,” the CPI tried to romanticize the war to the American public instead of letting them know the real truth about the tragedies of war through outright censorship.

This is evident in the televised premature ending of the Montag’s chase and in the symbolism of 451 by the government in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. However, in our world propaganda has been used to unite a country through targeted mass persuasion. This is seen in two classic U.S propaganda posters that encourage U.S citizens to join the army: “I want you”(index 1) and “Remember Dec. 7th” (index 2).
