How were
posters (propaganda) used in WW1?

# data[].attributes.body
Although propaganda was used before WW1 it became more useful during the WW1 period. The first posters just used text to get their message across; as the war progressed the posters become more and more sophisticated with artists using horrifying images to get war messages across. Although that was the main use of posters there were many others such as promoting patriotism, justifying the war, raising money, securing resources and promoting accepted standards of behaviour.Often these themes crossed over, for instance with horrifying images being interlinked into efforts to recruit men and raise money.

4. Was
propaganda effective or not? Why/ why not?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, propaganda was effective during WW1. This was because the government used persuasive propaganda techniques during this period. It was successful since people only got informed about the information that the government wanted them to know, which was mostly exaggerated lies was. It twisted the truth and allowed for governmental control of people’s opinion and their point of view on the war. Usually, people supported the war because propaganda ‘made sure’ they would believe that the war was worth fighting for. Some examples of this include: convincing people to go to war, unification of the nation, conserving food, buying bonds, and much more.

play a role in either lengthening or shortening the war?

# data[].attributes.body
Propaganda did contribute a little to lengthen the war because; it would cause conflict against the countries at war. This would happen by making ordinary men join the war because of the propaganda persuasive techniques. But the posters pulled at both positive and negative emotions. They used words as ammunition. “When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler.” “Loose lips might sink ships.” Messages made the war personal-you can make a difference, the soldiers are counting on you. Some posters were bright and happy, colourful and positive. On the other hand some posters showed the dark side of war. They were filled with shocking images of what had happened to other countries and what could still if they didn’t obey their leaders.
