President Woodrow Wilson established the Committee on Public Information (CPI) in 1917 to promote civilian and soldier opinion about the war through propaganda. The committee's goal was to make Americans want to participate in the war. They advertised positive aspects of the war to get civilians to help the government and negatively advertised the opposing countries.

Creel, who was once a muckraker was the head of  CPI, persuaded the nation's artists and advertising agencies to make thousands of pamphlets, booklets, and leaflets that showed why the US was doing what they were doing. Creel was able to get over 75,000 men to join as “4-minute men”. The things that were included in the pamphlets were the daft, rationing, bond drives, victory gardens, and topics like “why America got involved” and “ The meaning of America.”

The Americans supported President Truman's decision to get involved when North Korea invaded South Korea but disappeared after the Chinese entered the war when they had reached what was like a dead end.

Anti-German Hysteria was the resistance to or fear of Germany and all things associated with Germany, German Americans & German Immigrants experienced prejudice or hostility towards; Ban on German culture. In 1910 Germans were the largest non-English speaking immigrant group in America and German was the most studied foreign language. Many cities had German speaking schools, newspapers, and clubs due to the German style growing bigger. In June 1918 a bill was passed that made mandatory name changes to things world wide, and by 1920 over 30 states had passed laws for english only in schools, over the phone, and even in gatherings larger than 3. With all the laws being passed to cover up the German language and culture slowly pushed away Germans and made them look like “aliens” and the bad guys of America even if they were just trying to live a normal life.
