Answer 2

It it well known that during WWII, when our soldiers wrote back letters to be sent home. They would go through a censoring process where the letters would be censored of anything that may give the enemy a hint at the troop's locations. Sometimes the letters would be trashed completely. Censorship in WW2 varied enormously from country to country. In Britain, for example, all mail to and from people overseas was subject to censorship. In addition, the media were subject to censorship. George Orwell's "Animal Farm" was banned from publication till after VE-Day, as from July 1941 till May 1945 there was a policy of NOT printing things likely to offend the Soviet Union or likely to encourage anti-Soviet feeling.

Answer 3

In WW2 newspapers and television news were censored. Censhorship is when the government decides what or what not to show the people. Government considered it necessary in order to boost morale, but it was also a dangerous precedent because it violated 1st Ammendment free speech. The trend of censorship has been a common theme in wars throughout America and across the world, and is a dangerous side effect for war.

Answer 4

Cencorship was required during World War II to help prevent the enimies from finding out any information such as Australia's plans and their location. Even the letters sent and posted from the wives back home and the soldiers fighting were read over and made sure there was no information giving any suggestions to anything. If there was the information would be cut out from the letter and posted on.
