Propaganda in WW1 could have been anything from the newspaper to a public talk. The truth is that anyone could start propaganda. Some newspapers lied about the war and would say things like "British troops cross the Rhine in Germany." (when the British had not made those kinds of gains) for an example or any of that other stuff. Propaganda also played a big part in WW2 as well.
Propaganda can often to indispensable to a political or social cause. It has the ability to let the masses know about your particular view of idea set. Furthermore it may often sway individuals to your cause. Propaganda's ability to control and shift public opinion can be seen in many places throughout human history. In Soviet Russia, the industrialization of England, and of course throughout the World Wars. Propaganda is of course the spread of information that is prujudiced towards a certain point of view and ignores contradictory information that may modify or challenge the propaganda's purpose which is to support a course of action. The most dreadful example of this was in Nazi Germany. Its propaganda became a tool of the Nazi goverment to dehumanize Jews.
All wars are affected by propaganda. If people were told the truth behind what is going on then life would be a lot more difficult for both the antagonists and the protagonists. Introducing the truth can spoil; a really good war. This is also why there are such inordinately long periods of classification over old war records.
It is made up political jargon, rumors and such, to discredit somebody or something, in order to break down order, and distract an otherwise stable system. In world war two there was a women named Tokyo Rose who used to try to disway Americans with propoganda to make them feel inadequate. It is still used.
Good Question.. Propaganda in ww1/ww2 was in general derived for the purpose of substantially increasing enlistment, However, the axis were more interested in showing there power over the world and that there way was the right way(Taking an optimistic view towards there nation. Allies on the other hand were concentrating more in being pessimistic towards the axis ideas and shouting down the very idea the the Nazist party possesed. All in all the axis were alot more successful in there propagand efforts in ww1/ww2 than the allies. Although then again this could be debated due to other significant factors in both wars.......... Your truly, TRHYorkshire

The same way any propaganda is distributed, but if you are referring to the world wars it would most likely have been newspapers, flyers, and radio.

usually the media in wars is there to provide a morale boost to the public, and to create a hatred for the enemy. The propaganda organizations oversee the media during mass wars, (e.g. The ministry for propaganda was active all through World War 2, and all media was censored) This was to stop people voting against the war, the Media is in fact as powerful a method of fighting wars as the soldiers themselves, because without media and propaganda, there would be no volunteers and soldiers, and vice versa.
I think the Hittites started the most wars in Ancient Egypt.
Rome versus Carthage.
