  2. How was propaganda used to persuade American attitudes in WWI?

  3. WWI Propaganda • Information that is spread deliberately to influence people’s thoughts or actions • Civilians were asked to support the war effort in many ways.

  4. FOUR TECHNIQUES OF PROPAGANA • Propaganda often present half-truths, or only facts that support a particular cause. Propaganda is one-sided. • Propaganda uses name-calling. • Propaganda uses emotion to make a person identify a cause with a famous person or a noble idea, such a religion, motherhood, etc. • Propaganda shows the other side in the worst possible way – as blood-thirsty murders, baby killers, etc.

  5. OVER THERE Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Take it on the run, On the run, on the run. Hear them calling, you and me, Every son of liberty. Hurry right away, No delay, go today, Make your daddy glad To have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line. Chorus: Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there – That the Yanks are coming, The Yanks are coming, The drums rum tumming everywhere. So prepare, say a prayer,Send the word, send the word to beware. We'll be over, we're coming over, And wewon't come back till it's over, Over There! Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Take it on the run, On the run, on the run. Hear them calling, you and me, Every son of liberty. Hurry right away, No delay, go today, Make your daddy glad To have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line. Chorus: Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there – That the Yanks are coming, The Yanks are coming, The drums rum tumming everywhere. So prepare, say a prayer,Send the word, send the word to beware. We'll be over, we're coming over, And wewon't come back till it's over, Over There!

  6. Posters like this urged Americans to join the war and protect their country.

  7. This poster shown here was used by the U.S. government to promote support for WWI. The term “Hun” was a negative name used for the Germans.

  8. “Destroy this Mad Brute”is the caption of this World War I propaganda poster for enlistment in the U.S. Army. A dribbling, ape-like German using a club bearing the word “kultur” (culture) and wearing a pickelhaube helmet with the word “militarism” is walking onto the shore of America while holding a half-naked woman in his grasp (possibly meant to depict Liberty). This is a US version of an earlier British poster through the same image.

  9. This poster urged families to eat less in order to save food for American soldiers.
