Background• Each of the nations that participated in WWI from
1914-18 used propaganda not only as a means of justifying involvement to their own citizens, but also as a means of recruiting men, money and resources to sustain the military campaign.
• Propaganda was also used to unite the nation against an enemy; portrayed enemy countries in a negative manner
• Interestingly, the U.S. joined the war relatively late - April 1917 - she produced many more propaganda posters than any other single nation

Common Propaganda Techniques• Plain Folks Appeal: “I’m one of you”
• Testimonials: “I saw the Germans murder hundreds…”
• Bandwagon: “Everybody’s doing it”
• Card-Stacking: presenting only one side of a story
• Transfer: positive or negative associations, such as a politician posing with a flag
• Glittering generalities: idealistic or loaded language, such as “freedom,” “family values,” etc.
• Name calling: power-hungry, Hun, anarchist, etc.
