= Propaganda in World War I: = ==== All the nations at war in World War I used propaganda to boost the support on their side. When the U.S. entered the war they also began to use propaganda to try to get Americans behind the war effort. They used propaganda posters to get money, and resources to help sustain the war. The posters were also used for recruitment. ==== The absence of unity was America's primary concern. To gain publics support Wilson created the __Committee of Public support__ (CPI) to promote the war. The posters were sometimes dishonest in the ways they portrayed things. They would also demonize the enemy and they would also try to appeal to the heart not the mind. So the person reading it would be more likely to side with the poster.
