@theonlyrope all of the above ?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I was thinking about that...but I'm not so sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's all of the above. (: @EclipsedStar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is all of the above because of the fact that the U.S did make videos to create hate towards the enemy to gain support..

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

During WWII the objectives of the U.S. government for the propaganda campaign were recruitment, financing the war effort, unifying the public behind the war effort and eliminating dissent of all kinds, resource conservation, and factory production of war materials. The most common themes found in the posters were the consequences of careless talk, conservation, civil defense, war bonds, victory gardens, “women power”, and anti-German and Japanese scenarios. It was imperative to have the American people behind the war effort. Victory over the Axis was not a given, and certainly would not be without the whole-hearted support of all men, women, and children. http://www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/education/for-students/ww2-history/at-a-glance/propaganda-posters.html
