  • The government established CPI or the Committee on Public information also known as the Creel committee as it was named after George Creel. This was the first huge propaganda business ever. The goal of this organization was that while going into world war 1, the attempt to put out the right information to the public and so everyone was on the same page. They sent out this information through newspapers, and in March 1917, they created a bulletin, post offices and others. This was to try to make every american prepare to attend in the war. The CPI even tried to get the message out to Women, Laborers, Immigrants and more. Later on in expansion, Stanton Ford made visuals and published them to the public that had images to make Germany look bad. This however was not great for German Americans as people of the public made assumptions about them to be linked to the Germans side, while the CPI was doing great in publicity. Towards the end of the war, the CPI gained less publicity as they were pretty much going overboard with their opinions which made the problem worse.

When the U.S was in the war in 1917, German culture was attacked. This is where Anti-German hysteria began. German language classes were taken away. Libraries removed German books. The German-Americans were known as “enemies” now. Every German like thing in America was changed like names of streets, banks, etc. The German-Americans had to prove that they were loyal to the United States. After the war ended, people still disliked the Germans which banned their language.
