Ch 20 and 21

Propaganda was a definite factor in the great war.  During this time propaganda was used for the war effort.  It was used to get people to want to join the war effort and to support their country.  There was a sense of nationalism and loyalty towards your country.  This would also be one of the first times where it shows women in a different light.

Women were shown in such a positive way as supporters of the war.  When the men had to go off to fight in the war, the women took over their jobs and creating the weaponry used in the war.  In this period of time the women seemed to be a little bit on the equal side.  Women who were nurses went overseas to care for those in the war.

While visiting the Disney museum in San Francisco, they had a section about propaganda that Disney issues for World War 1.  There were many posters that depicted everyone's favorite Disney characters fighting in the wars and buying war bonds.  The propaganda posters did not just stick to the adults but to the children as well.  The greatness of the first world war was so different and affected everyone from young to old.  Women and men were affected, even men and women of other races were being brought to the front lines of WWI.  Everyone was affected around the world, it was something that no one has experienced before.  Unfortunately it will also not be the world's last.
