Good Morning!! • NVC • Warm-Up: Opposing Sides • Propaganda: Mobilizing People for War Essential Question: How did governments convince people to fight in the war? Homework: work on WWI project research log
Warm Up: Opposing Sides • On the map that you are given, shade in the countries of the Triple Alliance lightly with pencil! Leave the countries of the Triple Entente un-shaded to contrast. Remember, one Triple Alliance country switches sides and another country joins in!
Mobilizing People for War • WWI is a Total War: all society and all society’s resources mobilize to fight it • Propaganda: information or ideas deliberately spread to help or harm a person, nation, group or movement
Source: Great Britain, 1915 • Britain was the only great power to rely on voluntary enlistment. They did not institute a draft until 1916. Here Britain is showing people of all different occupations and backgrounds joining the armed forces.
Source: Russia, 1915, “The great battle of the Russian hero with the German serpent.” • Mythological imagery all can understand • Many-headed monster represents Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria, and Ottomans) • Damaged churches show Triple Alliance is an enemy of Christ
Source: U.S.A, 1917 • Savage ape, not even human • Wearing German helmet, with a German moustache, and the German word “Kultur” on its club • Idea of German barbarism was very common
Source: Germany, 1916, “We Barbarians!” • Comparing Germany to France and Britain • Germany has fewer illiterates • Germany spends more on education • Germany prints more books • Germany has better social security • Germany has more Nobel Laureates than France and Britain combined
Source: Austria, 1917. “And You?” • Dark but realistic depiction of a soldier, depressed but refusing to give up the fight • This is what he is doing for the war, what are YOU doing for the war?
Choose Your Propaganda Assessment • Create your own propaganda: Pick a country you are fighting for! Create images, symbols, and catchy sayings to encourage your people to fight, help, and hate your enemy! OR • Journal Entry: Look at Image 6 in your packet (the one we didn’t go over in class). Source it. What are symbols? What is the message? Is it convincing? Is it fair?
