  10. Propaganda Aimed at Groups • Propaganda posters also aimed at specific groups of people. By using different characters and different symbols, all individuals were targets of propaganda.

  11. #7 WWI was the first war in which women officially served in the military, in non-combat positions, only. In the Navy, women served as nurses and clerical workers. Women were hired as temporary workers for the army as opposed to being enlisted. Army enlisted nurses only, and they were the only women sent over seas during the war. http://ncmuseumofhistory.org/workshops/womenshistory/WWI_poster.jpg

  16. Do Something! • Other propaganda asked for specific things to be done.
