United States and its Allies in World War i

Ura’s scholarly journal, she writes about how from the revolutionary era to after 9/11, there were public and private actors that had tried to forge U.S. foreign relations by convincing a large number of people to adopt particular policies, people, and custom. It also speaks about how the U.S. had no real propaganda agency until the Committee on Public Information, Also known as the CPI, was created in 1917. After it was created the next two years,the Committee aspired to bring on overall support for the United States and its allies in World War I. The journal also speaks about how in 1938, as part of the Good Neighbor Policy, the Roosevelt administration began official informative and cultural dialogue with Latin America. Then she writes about how after the United States entrance into World War II, the United States government made a new propaganda department. This new department was known as the Office of War Information, also known as the OWI. Just like the CPI, the OWI was disbanded once hostilities ended. To counter the dangers of communism and anti Americanism, during the fall of 1945, the President, Harry S. Truman, broke with authority and ordered the continuation of U.S. propaganda activities in peacetime.This will help in my research paper because I can use the propaganda agencies during World War 1 that she talked about in my essay

The book speaks about propaganda that went at people who were back home in the United States and Europe while World War I was going on. It speaks about how many published pieces such as magazines, romance novels, etc, attacked women in their very own homes. The published pieces were trying to pressure on women to change their habits in their homes. It talks about how everyone was taught to be afraid of the opposition. They were educated to support the ensuing war through propaganda. They did this by using toys and games to spread it. It also speaks about how when children and women weren’t used as targets of propaganda, they became a way to go after men as propaganda. I believe this is good for my research paper because it will help me explain how propaganda was even used to target and attack people who weren’t even in the war.
