Television did not have a significant impact on Americans during World War I, as it was not widely developed or used until after the war. The war occurred from 1914 to 1918, while television technology emerged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Instead, during WWI, Americans primarily relied on newspapers, radio, and posters for information and Propaganda. The lack of television meant that these other media played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and rallying support for the war effort.

What were some American viewpoints during World War 2?
Some Americans initially thought that the USA should stay out of the war entirely. After the devastation and loss of lives during WW I, many felt that the war was not something that the US should invest in. Charles Lindbergh was well-traveled and visited many of the world leaders during those times. He was against joining the war effort, some say because he felt the war was already lost and others say because he felt that Germans/Hitler were telling the truth each time they stated they were done. However, once Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan, an ally of Germany, the war effort was approved by Roosevelt and Congress. Even before the US declared war, many men joined the Canadian and British military to become involved. And, once war was declared, by and large Americans became involved by buying war bonds, rationing and working factory jobs. Answer That was true for WWI. Before the Americans got into WWII they did not want to be in the war. They had lost many men and women in WWI and they really did not want to go to war again. They felt WWI had not accomplished a thing. They also thought the war in Europe was not their war so they did not want their son's and daughter's sent to another foreign war that was not their war. President Roosevelt promised he would not send them into another FOREIGN war. Many of the people in the USA did not really know much about Europe and their issues and they did not understand how evil Hitler was or what was happening to the Jews. This was not the age of television, internet, blogging and even cheap global telephoning. Many of the Americans could not even read or write. So they did not understand fully what was happening to England and other countries. They did get news in the newspapers but you know how the media can be. Hitler also censored Western newspaper writers submissions. So Americans did not get the full real news of Europe. Once Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii then the American were incensed and finally wanted to get into the war. So Roosevelt finally declared war on Japan and joined the European Theater of the war. But, he did keep his promise not to send Americans into a FOREIGN war because now the war was OUR war.
Was there TVs during world war 2?
Barely, but yes. But at the start of World War II, TV was 99% something people had heard or read about, but only about 1% of people had seen. The New York Times for December 8, 1941 has TV listings in it, but a very few, and only very wealthy people had this very expensive, new-fangled electronic gadget in their homes. TV did not really become a part of everyday life until about 1952, and it was about 1956 before the majority (more than 50%) of Americans had it.
