England Expects National Service Poster

In WWI, propaganda was greatly used to influence the Australian public. There were many reasons why men wanted to enlist in the war. These were adventure/ opportunity to see the world, heroism, win over women and children, nationalism, patriotism, hatred of the Germans, and increased pay and free clothes. There were many different techniques used to make people believe the Propaganda posters such as using persuasive language to show how the Germans were barbaric. The propaganda posters also used a lot of images and texts to make Australians feel guilty for not participating in the war. Propaganda was also used in Journalism especially newspapers in Australia and Britain. These propaganda posters showed extreme bias towards

Propaganda is information that is biased and used to promote a particular cause or point of view. Propaganda was used through movies, radios, news channels, posters, and movies. Propaganda was very important during this time because without it, people won’t join the army and the country will be at risk. Everywhere people looked there was propaganda. Propaganda influenced many people to serve During World War Two. In A Separate Peace, by John Knowles, he shows how the students in there school were easily persuaded to enlist in the war. The three main ways that propaganda was used to persuade individuals to enlist in the war are posters, films, and media.

The second type of poster was the "Victory" poster. In this type of poster, the United States flag and a solider in uniform were shown to give off a patriotic feeling and accompanied by words such as " America, Now and Forever". These posters also used symbols such as Uncle Sam, the American Eagle, and most of all the Stars and Stripes. The third type of posters, "Careless Talk" posters, were in contrast to "Victory" posters. These posters were designed to keep Americans from talking about the war. Talking may seem as harmless, however American authorities feared that spies would overhear American plans of attack and would relay this information to Axis powers. Although not using nation symbols, symbols such as were death, such as a paratrooper and others with cemetery crosses. These posters commonly used the cause-and-effect idea. An example of this is represented in a poster showing a spaniel gazing over his dead owner's naval collar with the words "...because someone talked" underneath. According to Photoworld, "Because someone talked, the spaniel has lost his master, and it conveys a sense of loss." By perceiving this sense of loss, Americans would give their sympathy to the war and to the men and women who were fighting. To attract public compassion for

During WWII, Great Britain would create propaganda posters to try to convince ordinary citizens to help the military effort in some way.

Imagery uses color as well that is eye catching to anybody. For instance, in a poster with a large British solider, this shows that they are powerful and should be looked up to. Below the solider are hardworking citizens which do work and this helps aid to the solider to grow. Additionally, there is another poster that states "Woman of Britain" and has a picture of a factory worker standing right under war planes. It is stating that they have the power to aid with the war by working. Overall, imagery is a necessary part of posters and propaganda to persuade an audience.

Back in the 1900’s world war 2 broke out. Germany and britain were fighting against each other, and in 1940 Germany began heavily bombing Great Britain. Every person that lived in Great Britain in some way had to participate in helping with the war whether it be working in the factories, hospitals, or jobs that support the war. Therefore, in order to make the people help the British government employed a variety of persuasive techniques through posters to convince the people to join the war effort.

At the start of the war the use of recruitment propaganda was quite minimal. However, over time when people started to realise the devastation and death toll of the war, less people volunteered. Therefore, the government increased the amount of propaganda by hanging more posters, publishing newspapers and more, in the effort to increase their chances in defeating the Ottoman Empire. The government used methods of manipulation in their posters such as targeting people’s sense of patriotism, guilt, mate ship as well using atrocity propaganda and women to advertise their campaign. For example in the poster ‘it is nice in the surf but what about the men in the trenches’, evidently shows how the government tries to make men feel a sense of guilt

During World War II propaganda posters where used to influence many peoples value, beliefs and behavior. The use of propaganda had a huge impact on the allied and axis power during this time. Both enemy’s used posters to get support from there government and families back home. Creating these posters encouraged people to save their materials so that most of the weapons could be used during the war. Propaganda it was a smart way to get people to degrade the enemy. Furthermore it was a great financial investment for America and its allies during the war. The poster I will address are what I found to be the most interesting and significant during this time.

Such propaganda included posters asking people to “Wake up America! Civilisation calls every man, woman and child!” A British poster that emphasises the involvement of the total population in the war effort shows different kinds of people engaging in war responsibilities – men at battle, women in the workforce making uniforms, men making weapons – and it asks “Are YOU in this?” This kind of all-embracing propaganda had the aim to brainwash whole nations. The combination of the public’s thirst for information about the war and various governments’ urgent need to mobilise entire civilian populations for the war effort led to a moulding of the public’s thinking through the printed word. In Germany, for example, the military had the right to censor the press and any information that could distress the people was suppressed, while unfavourable news about a situation on the front was passed over silence, delayed or toned down. This was the same in Britain and France. The First World War was total because propaganda and censored news were used as weapons that could reach whole populations and intervene into everyday lives. Even though not all people were physically involved in battle, even children could look at a newspaper or propaganda poster and feel the impact of war through words that evoke fear, sadness, anger or give the urge to join the army.

Propaganda made a great impact on World War II society. Propaganda was used intently during World War II and was particularly important because it allowed the government to control citizen’s thoughts and beliefs about the war. Propaganda is defined as information or ideas that promote a point of view, group, belief, etc. Usually, it is either misleading or biased in order to portray a desired viewpoint for people to believe. In the war, the government utilized propaganda to make citizens believe that the war was worth fighting for, even though that wasn’t the case. They did so by creating propaganda that advocated for unification, domination of the enemy, and war employment opportunities, to name a few. Maus by Art Spiegelman is a graphic novel

Advertising is everywhere, sometimes it is subtle, other times it is overt. Propaganda posters are a form of advertising; they were used extensively by many countries in the 1940’s during World War II. By attempting to reach the public directly with a powerful and emotional message, they became an effective means to deliver that message. Similar techniques are used in modern advertising. A 2015

Another way this propaganda was very useful was that it targeted specific groups of people such as African Americans. An example of this type of propaganda can be seen in the poster “Colored Man Is No Slacker”. This photo depicts an African American man, and an African American woman holding each other as the man goes off to war. (Pg. 143) As an African American seeing this poster hanging around the town, it would make them consider that if they go out to war people would not think of them as loafers and they would be behind their country. This poster was very successful in brining African Americans into the war effort. Without posters like these, many African Americans would have not volunteered their services to the war, which is why propaganda during World War 1 was so effective.

During World War II the country used propaganda to influence its own people to help the cause, or be helped by their own government. Not only did their own government used the concept of propaganda to gain more trust over its people. As a result they used propaganda techniques to give a visual interpretation of what they wanted to message out to the public. For example in this time period the government made a poster indicating the danger in venereal disease. To point out that women prostitutes are the carriers of this disease and if, " a man suffering from Venereal Disease," wants to be wed. Unfortunately if he ,"who infects his wife commits a vile crime against her and children yet unborn," is as shameful as the person who gave him the disease.

The purpose of the poster is to evoke feelings of patriotism within a suitable individual to encourage them to join the army. The intent of the silhouette holding a Canadian flag

Wartime relations can cause a country to get down as we saw in the United States during Vietnam to a point where a large portion of the public doesn’t support the war. One of the ways countries, like the United States, curb this is by creating propaganda. In World War II, the United States used the propaganda to get the public behind the war effort and to unite the country. This propaganda included posters to advertise,
