20th Century Conflicts Projects By Sam Langston Conflict: WWI Topic: Propaganda Argument: Propaganda is the most significant cause of WWI because it influenced the people to fight and it gave them a strong feeling of nationalism. Key Passages: 1. Secondary Source “–noun Information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.” “Propaganda”. Dictionary.com. n.d. Web. 14 Mar. 2011 2. Secondary Source “CPI propaganda typically appealed to the heart, not to the mind. Emotional agitation is a favorite technique of the propagandist, because "any emotion may be 'drained off' into any activity by skilful manipulation." An article which appeared in Scientific Monthly shortly after the war argued that "the detailed suffering of a little girl and her kitten can motivate our hatred against the Germans, arouse our sympathy for Armenians, make us enthusiastic for the Red Cross, or lead us to give money for a home for cats." Wartime slogans such as "Bleeding Belgium," "The Criminal Kaiser," and "Make the World Safe For Democracy," suggest that the CPI was no stranger to this idea. Evidence of this technique can be seen in a typical propaganda poster that portrayed an aggressive, bayonet-wielding German soldier above the caption "Beat Back The Hun With Liberty Bonds” Horner, Rachelle. "Propaganda in the US." I Net Teacher. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Mar. 2011. <http://inetteacher.com/Section2.aspx?uid=104127&pgid=409&secid=17584&sid=203 633>. 3. Secondary Source “The Nazis believed in propaganda as a vital tool in achieving their goals. Adolf Hitler, Germany's Führer, was impressed by the power of Allied propaganda during World War I and believed that it had been a primary cause of the collapse of morale and revolts in the German home front and Navy in 1918. Hitler met nearly every day with Goebbels to discuss the news, and Goebbels would obtain Hitler's thoughts on the subject. Goebbels then met with senior Ministry officials to pass down the official Party line on world events. Broadcasters and journalists required prior approval before their works were disseminated. Along with posters, the Nazis produced a number of films and books to spread their beliefs.” "Propaganda." Wikipedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Mar. 2011. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda#Nazi_Germany>. 4. Secondary Source “One week after the passage of the war declaration, Wilson established the Committee on Public Information, headed by George Creel. Creel’s powers were immense as he was tasked with creating a propaganda machine that had two primary aims: building support for the war in a pluralistic society and portraying the enemy in the worst possible manner.” Streich, Michael.
