  1. WWI Propaganda

  2. Each of the nations which participated in WWI from 1914-18 used propaganda posters not only as a means of justifying involvement to their own populace, but also as a means of procuring men, money & resources to sustain the military campaign. In countries such as Britain the use of propaganda posters was readily understandable: in 1914 she only possessed a professional army & did not have in place a policy of national service, as was standard in other major nations such as France & Germany. Wartime posters were not solely used to recruit men to the military cause.  Posters commonly urged wartime thrift, & were vocal in seeking funds from the general public via subscription to various war bond schemes (usually with great success). Interestingly, for all that the U.S joined the war relatively late - April 1917 - she produced many more propaganda posters than any other single nation.

  3. You and a partner are to create a WWI Propaganda poster. The posters are to be in color. They must show some form of recruitment or thrift (saving food or clothing, etc) or buying war bonds or anything that might motivate the American public to get involved somehow.
