  • To influence public opinion in favor of the war, the U.S produced films, commissioned colorful posters, published pamphlets and recruited everyday Americans to “sell the war.” These efforts helped create both modern American wartime propaganda and spurred the 20th century advertising industry.
    This video is made possible by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is a partnership of the U.S. World War One Centennial Commission, the Doughboy Foundation and the National WWI Museum and Memorial as part of the teaching and learning resources of “How WWI Changed America.”

      I think a lot of people still see propaganda as evil. In fact it used by every nation in some form or another but gets ramped up in wartime and social upheaval. We live in the later times due to Covid-19 restrictions, racial tensions, and the sexual identity crisis.
      Note - I would add climate change but that issue is more of a chronic issue that has lasted at least 5 decades as a crisis of emanate threat (sort of like the doomsday clock showing 3 minutes to midnight when nuclear war would occur; climate disaster is always portrayed as about a decade away).

    The (unintended?) side effect was that German language and culture in America were greatly suppressed and all but disappeared over broad areas.

    I never understood how etnical Germans, ethnical Irish and ethical Celts and their descendants in general living in USA could kowtow to a horrible war and attack the right side.
    Staying at the side of France and Britain is so terrible. Even more terrible if you see the cruelty that Irish and Germans suffered and how much those groups helped US to grow.

      "Right" or "wrong" side notwithstanding, we were supporting "democracies" that at the same time enslaved and colonized hundreds of millions of people all over the globe.

    important information regarding the participation of the USA. the First World War was already won by France and the United Kingdom before the US troops entered the campaign
    The facts even show that the entry into the war of the United States poses more embarrassment than anything else. Because the men sent to "help" arrive without any correct equipment (no helmets, no heavy weapons, no tanks, few trucks, no planes, no machine guns etc). It was therefore necessary that France and the United Kingdom make an additional effort to decently equip the Sammies and offer them a small chance not to be swept from the battlefield (where they will nevertheless suffer colossal losses for their low participation)
    When Germany launched its last offensives which exhausted its resources at the beginning of 1918, there were hardly any US troops participating.
    Nor can we find any US troops helping to collapse Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary during the Franchet d'Esperey offensive from Salonika.
    In short, the USA played a very minor role during the First World War (which greatly displeased them given the relentless attempts to rewrite history on their part)

      Your way off the war was not won when the Americans joined the war and when they joined it wasn't an embarrassment it actually boosted the allies confidence seeing fresh troops arrive in France and no they were just as well equipped as any other country in the war reread history.

      @CJ87317 Год назад +6

      Ummm, no...the USA played a very important role. We didn't win the war, but we came in at a critical point. If for no other reason than the morale, which was seriously lacking in the Allied nations in the Spring of 1917 when war was declared by us.
