10 Anti-German Propaganda Posters from World War One

10 Anti-German Propaganda Posters from World War One | Britain, 1890-1918 | Scoop.it
From madefrom.com - February 20, 2015 5:04 AM
It’s now a cliché of World War One history that the war was pointless and fought only for the vanity of an elite minority. Yet at the time both sides conducted propaganda campaigns to keep public support behind the war.
Kent College History's insight:

'In the propaganda of Britain, France and the USA, Germans were presented, often literally, as monsters, while atrocities both real and imagined were liberally exploited.'

The Defence of the Realm Act during WW1
Kent College History's insight:
'DORA was designed to help prevent invasion and keep morale high at home. It gave the government wide-ranging powers, such as the authority to requisition buildings needed for the war effort, or by creating new criminal offences. It also ushered in a variety of social control measures.'
