without a doubt, it caused public out cry when the Germans were accused of killing babies and women in Belgium, they shot a nurse called Edith Cavell, there is a statue to her now in London, there were no tv's or radio in those days so you only new what was in the newspapers,
its a good way to get men to join and fight if you tell them the enemy is horrible.
Also the Luisitania was an American passenger ship carrying civilians, the Germans sunk it ! imagine the uproar, sort of an old 9 /11.
My referance here to 9/11 is not ment to offend in any way, mearly to point out the relevance of Propaganda.
The use of propaganda was definitely more effective in the Second World War. They had more means of media then and upgraded from the First World War, for sure.
Propaganda is planting the seed. People, as a whole, believe what they are told.
Propaganda was used both positive and negative during WW1. The reason why is because propaganda was used to get and recruit more men to participate in the war, and fight for their own country. The other side of the propaganda was used to insult or make a bad reputation at their enemy, so more supporters would be on their side to fight the enemy.
Propaganda was used as a military weapon and used to make people think, that the war is turning out good for that country. f.eks. before attacking a place you could yell in big speakers, that if you surrender we will let you live and that they were slightly outnumbered, so it would be a good idea to surrender. Under world war 2 the propaganda was a big factor, and it made many thousands of soldiers surrender. It was also necessary to have a good propaganda minister, who was good at expressing themselves. Germany's minister Joseph Goebbels was one of the best. In Russia, there is a poster of a Russian lady working saying "Do it for your Russian sister (or something along those lines)". Also the most popular work propaganda was Rosie the Riveter in her posters saying "We can do it!".Propaganda encouraged forces to do something, whether its fighting one another or simply working.
british government would put up posters to make people feel timmide and useless back in England so they would recruite for the home front.
During World War One our country was made up of immigrants. It was divided and broken into pieces and support for sides. When America entered the war on April 6, 1917, the biggest worry was public unity. So on April, 13, 1917, President Wilson created the Committee on Public Information. They censored and limited "Damaging information," that might have induced support for the non-allies. Soon the company was combining advertising techniques with psychology to create all sorts of propaganda.
Propoganda, in general, is a method of portraying information so that your view or actions look noble and right as opposed to your enemy who is portrayed as cowardly and dastardly. During war propoganda is used to attack the enemy over the airwaves and in print while attempting to keep the homefront calm by portraying the cause as just and noble.
they were so effective they made the allies stronger
i have an essay to do on that to lol
Propaganda made it look that way so that people would enlist.
It was for the propaganda value.
Propaganda was used both positive and negative during WW1. The reason why is because propaganda was used to get and recruit more men to participate in the war, and fight for their own country.

Well there are many reasons in why its so successful. Firstly honor and duty, religion, patriotism, getting out of school and propaganda posters.
A large portion had to do with propaganda (Look for posters). And many people did not know what kind of damage it would cause.
All sides used massive propaganda to drum up support for the war effort. Propaganda is used when a country (or group really) wants every member to think in a certain way, when fighting a war this becomes a very important means of keeping up support on the 'home front'.
the they showed the enemy as mean, vicous, bad guys so the general population would support the war. Countries also used propaganda as a way to raisse the levels of nationalism. Yes, to show the enemies were mean but also to show that the countries' troops were winning the war(even if they weren't) and to convince the citizens that the country's reason for entering the war was just
Navajo is a very difficult language and impossible for the Japanese to decipher
Bolshevik propaganda was most receptive in military circles. This may be surprising, however, not so much as most military personnel were from the common classes. Military dissatisfaction with the Czarist regime was already widespread in 1905 and again during World War One. It was most effective in the military from top to bottom after the March, 1917 revolution.An example of pre-war military dissatisfaction was seen in 1905, when the Bolsheviks played a leading, but not exclusive role in the mutiny of a Russian warship.
It allowed information about the war to be relaid back home more quickly creating a better support of us winning the war It also allowed the papers to use propaganda against the enemy & so gain initial support for the war.
