Background information • At the outbreak of World War I, the United States was neutral. • After nearly three years of fighting, our nation joined the war on the side of the Allies. • The U. S. Government was faced with the task of gaining public support for the war effort.

LESSON OVERVIEW Students will view World War I propaganda posters to interpret various messages being sent to U.S. citizens, and identify the target population for each example. Students will also be introduced to various types of propaganda techniques.
