World War II
Propaganda
Women
During the war, many women wanted to do
something for their country. Many women
enrolled in the army to become a nurse.
Women wanted to
feel needed during
the war just as much
as the soldiers.
Over 400,000 women
accepted the
challenge and
became nurses and
served in uniform.
Motivation
There were
many
propaganda
posters
motivating
people to join
the army and
support the
country.
By making the posters say
something good, people would look
at them.
They made the army look good in
order for you to join, but once
people joined, there was no way
out.
The army wanted as many people to
join, so when you make something
look good, people are going to want
to try it and see what is so good
about it.
Keep Quiet
The army didn’t want anyone
talking about the information in
the war because they didn’t want
anyone to know what was really
going on.
They didn’t want people to leak
any secrets we had and tell
Germany.
Silence is golden!
If someone
were to talk
about any
information
regarding the
war, Germany
could very
easily find out
and do
something to
the country
before we do
something to
them.
Bonds
War bonds were
seen as a way to
regulate the
economy while
the war was
going on. It
would help
reduce price
increases.
The government would take your money to
support the soldiers fighting in the war. At
first, bonds were known as Defense Bonds.
After the Japanese people attacked Pearl
Harbor, it was changed to War Bonds.
Recruitment
The army made recruiting
posters to make people think
that joining the army was an
awesome thing. They would
make people believe that
joining the army would make
you a better person.
Helping your country during
the war and becoming a
soldier, was really the only
thing you could really do.
During the war, people aren’t
going to be doing normal
everyday things. Unless you
were a woman and became
a nurse, the routine was that
the women would stay home
and run the house and watch
the children while the men
went to war.
Join the army,
and help your
country!
Women and
men both
played very
important
roles in the
war. Men
fight and the
women help
them when
they go down.
