Question 11

(Response for Question 11) Propaganda is the systematic effort to influence people's attitudes and perceptions, often through misleading or biased information. During World War I, the United States federal government heavily utilized propaganda to rally public support for the war effort, both domestically and internationally. Agencies such as the Committee on Public Information (CPI) created posters, films, and pamphlets that emphasized themes of patriotism, duty, and the moral imperative to support the Allies. These materials portrayed the war as a fight for democracy and freedom against tyranny, persuading Americans to donate, enlist, and conserve resources. By shaping public sentiment and suppressing dissent, propaganda played a crucial role in mobilizing the nation for total war.

Question 12

(Response for Question 12) U.S. participation in World War I profoundly affected social dynamics on the home front, creating a climate of both solidarity and unrest. The draft and the mobilization of troops initiated demographic changes as millions of men deployed overseas, while women and minorities filled jobs left vacant in factories and other industries. However, this shift also led to significant tensions, including race riots and labor strikes demanding better conditions and pay. The crackdown on dissent, symbolized by the Espionage and Sedition Acts, stifled opposition to the war and resulted in a heightened atmosphere of suspicion and fear. Furthermore, the post-war economic adjustment led to disillusionment among veterans and the public, contributing to widespread discontent that would eventually manifest in various social movements during the 1920s.
