Propaganda is a standard feature of all wars. In WWI , there was a major propaganda campaign in the US, to convince the population to join the war against Germany. It was organised by various academics , intellectuals and business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic. At the start of the war , almost nobody in America wanted any part of it, but by 1915, thousands of young men were queueing up to join. It was very effective.
Propaganda posters were used in Britain for the first time on a massive scale during world war one. Britain was one of the only European powers not to have conscription at the start of the war, so the poster campaign, bankrolled by the War Office played a crucial role in keeping recruiting numbers up. The campaign started with a picture of Lord Kitchener, the head of the War Office, appearing in the famous "Briton needs you poster". Conscription was introduced early in 1916 and posters were used to inform people of the change of laws. They then focused on saving the economy by asking good citizens to buy war bonds to finance the debt the government needed to fight the war. There ended up being more different war bond posters than recruitment ones. In the second world war, conscription for men started straight away, so posters were used more for things like recruiting women, saving food and giving public safety information.
Propaganda has always been important, to some extent (depending on how you define it), in any kind of war. World War I, it was no different, as it was by the Allies at least used to convince men to enlist (the famous poster of Uncle Sam saying "I Want You" is from this period) and was also to encourage the public to agree to and support action against the Axis Powers (examples of this would include the exaggerated claims of German soldiers killing babies with their bayonets).
Propaganda was used in the first world war to get new soldiers. it was also used to tell people that everything was fine when it obviously was not.
You need the support of the populace in any war. Propaganda helps accomplish that.

Many nations used propaganda during WWI, however the Germans used it the most. Their most famous form of propaganda was putting up thousands of posters around major cities depicting Black French Colonial Troops raping young German women. Imagines such as these boost support and enlistment.

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.
World War 2 propaganda posters aimed to influence public opinion, boost morale, and mobilize support for the war effort. They often depicted the enemy in a negative light and emphasized themes such as patriotism, sacrifice, and the importance of unity. Additionally, these posters were used to encourage people to conserve resources, buy war bonds, and contribute to various home-front activities.
There were millions of propaganda posters produced during World War II by various countries to promote patriotism, boost morale, and encourage citizens to contribute to the war effort. The exact number is difficult to determine due to the vast quantity created across different countries and time periods during the war.

In the USA, the women who worked in the war factory were symbolized by the fictitious woman in the poster of "Rosie the Riveter. Many Hollywood women were symbolized for their efforts in the war too. There were women who were put on posters for the Red Cross, Nurses Corps, and even the women who flew planes were on posters. The posters were great propaganda and a big promotion for women too.
