Propaganda posters from various countries.

The history of the British Propaganda Bureau.

Every nation involved in World War I published posters that justified the war to its citizens and encouraged them to help with the war effort. The United States, which was in the war for only a year and a half, produced more of these propaganda posters than any other nation.

From the Getty Research Institute: "This exhibition examines World War I from two perspectives: the representation of the war in propaganda, and the depiction of war by artists who experienced the brutality firsthand."

"U.S. newspaper coverage of World War I (1914-18) provides a unique perspective on wartime propaganda."

Each of the nations which participated in World War One from 1914-18 used propaganda posters not only as a means of justifying involvement to their own populace, but also as a means of procuring men, money and resources to sustain the military campaign.
