Series Statement:
Studies in war, society, and the military
Content:
World War I prompted the first massive organized propaganda campaign of the twentieth century. Posters, pamphlets, and other media spread fear about the "Hun," who was often depicted threatening American families in their homes, while additional campaigns encouraged Americans and their allies to support the war effort. With most men actively involved in warfare, women and children became a special focus-and a tool-of social manipulation during the war.For Home and Country examines the propaganda that targeted noncombatants on the home front in the United States and Europe during World War I.
