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.
We want you for the US Army! In the Uncle Sam posters :D
The official propaganda agency of the US does not exist. The US government does not have a designated agency for propaganda.
One of the chief ways propaganda was used was through the use of pre-movie "war updates". Anytime a person went to the movies, they saw a brief clip of how the war effort was going in Europe and in Asia and encouraged them to "do their part." Posters were prevalent, featuring now-iconic characters such as Uncle Sam and Rosie the Riveter.
Some common methods of propaganda include spreading misinformation, using emotional appeals to manipulate people's feelings, creating catchy slogans or messages to reinforce a desired belief, and controlling the flow of information to suppress opposing viewpoints. Propaganda can also involve using influential figures or celebrities to endorse a particular idea or cause.
Propaganda can serve to rally people behind a cause, but often at the cost of exaggerating, misrepresenting, or even lying about the issues in order to gain that support. While the issue of propaganda often is discussed in the context of militarism, war and war-mongering, it is around us in all aspects of life. At times of war, or build up for war, messages of extremities and hate, combined with emotions of honor and righteousness interplay to provide powerful propaganda for a cause.
US propaganda portrayed the Japanese as heartless monsters who cared nothing about basic human decency- they were portrayed as literally being less than human.

During World War I, U.S. propaganda posters frequently depicted German soldiers as brutal and barbaric figures to galvanize public support for the war effort. These portrayals aimed to dehumanize the enemy and foster a sense of urgency and patriotism among Americans. By emphasizing themes of heroism and the need to protect freedom and democracy, these images sought to encourage enlistment and promote war bonds. Overall, the messaging played a crucial role in shaping public perception and rallying the nation behind the war.

During the Cold War, the US and the USSR employed propaganda to promote their ideologies and discredit each other. The US emphasized themes of freedom, democracy, and the capitalist way of life, using media, films, and cultural exchanges to project a positive image. Conversely, the USSR focused on the strengths of communism, portraying it as a solution to social inequality and imperialism, while depicting the US as a capitalist aggressor. Both sides utilized posters, films, and radio broadcasts to sway public opinion domestically and internationally.
