War propaganda posters
During World War II (1941–45), American propaganda was used to increase support
for the war and commitment to an Allied victory. Using a vast array of media,
propagandists fomented hatred for the enemy and support for America's allies,
urged greater public effort for war production.
Propaganda based on the attack on Pearl Harbor was used with considerable
effectiveness, because its outcome was enormous and impossible to counter.
Initial reports termed it a "sneak attack" and "infamous behavior"
"Remember Pearl Harbor!" became the watchword of the war.
