1 Propaganda during World War II Mr. Vanderporten Contemporary American History

2 Discussion Questions  What exactly is propaganda?  What impact does propaganda have on people?  What types of format does propaganda come in?

3 What is propaganda?  The spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.  Ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause.

4 Propaganda during World War II  During WWII, Roosevelt creates the OWI (Office of War Information)  OWI uses Hollywood movie studios, radio stations, and printing presses to spread propaganda  Writers’ War Board: main domestic propaganda organization in the US during WWII  Examples of propaganda: posters, advertising, comic books/cartoons, leaflets, radio, books, movies, animation, magazines, newspapers

5 Your Assignment…….  Using information from Chapter 25, Section 1, you will create your own propaganda poster (pgs. 768-774). You are supporting the U.S. war effort. The best propaganda posters use both words and pictures. You could use only words, but remember that the poster needs to be appealing to the eyes. In addition, the posters should be in color (and no, pencil- lead grey is not a color). Remember, the poster needs to be visually appealing; otherwise nobody is going to support your war effort! Be creative and original!

6 Ideas to help you out…..  Japan attacks Pearl Harbor  Selective Service System: drafts 10 million soldiers to fight  Women helped too! Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps  Minorities helped fight as well: African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and Asian Americans  Factories start making tanks, planes, boats instead of other goods (soft drinks to explosive shells)  18 million laborers helped in the war effort!  6 million female workers helped win the war!  Scientists also get involved with the OSRD, Manhattan Project (begin working on the atomic bomb)  OPA: rationed foods like meat, butter, cheese, vegetables, sugar, and coffee, fought inflation  WPB: people collect iron, tin cans, paper, rags, and cooking fat to recycle for war goods  Rationing: Americans receive less goods as in years past
