Write an analytical essay in which you analyze and evaluate the techniques used in World War II propaganda.

In the United States during World War II, propaganda was everywhere. There were posters with Uncle Sam on them telling young men to enlist in the military and go fight. There were posters with American soldiers and American flags, with the words ‘Buy War Bonds’ at the bottom. To get people to buy them for the army. The Japanese Navy devastated Pearl Harbor which left the American people in the need for vengeance. The world was divided between two sides, the majority of the nations of the world supporting the Allied Powers. If propaganda had not been used to rally support for the war, it is possible that the war effort would not have been as powerful and we could have lost. Perhaps it could have been weak enough for the Axis Powers to continue building up strength all over the world. However, this does not justify propaganda as something that is absolutely ‘good’.
