12. What effects did propaganda have on the war?

Answer 1

Answer:

10.Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts in order to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language in order to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented. Propaganda is often associated with material which is prepared by governments, but activist groups, companies, religious organizations, the media, and individuals also produce propaganda.

11.Using a vast array of media, propagandists instigated hatred for the enemy and support for America's allies, urged greater public effort for war production and victory gardens, persuaded people to save some of their material so that more material could be used for the war effort, and sold war bonds.

12.Through propaganda, Americans promoted production so the American army would be supplied sufficiently and also the American people would have jobs. In the end, The United States and the Allied Powers won the war, so this shows that they were more effective in their attempt.
