Hollywood’s role and other Propaganda

After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7Th 1941 America was officially in the war. Propaganda began to come about when all the men began to leave to go fight the war. The Women in the war severed as a great help, they worked in factories and made anything from parachutes to bomber for the US military. If the US didn't have so much help from the women in this time there would have been much more American casualties over seas.



This Propaganda poster was designed to promote even more women to help the cause. With all the help the Women did for America it also helped promote woman rights which was another motive for women to join.

There were also other kinds of Propaganda that was directed towards men to join the armed forces. One of the most famous ones in the Uncle Sam pointing at you saying "I want you" This poster was used to Influence more men in joining the war and fighting for their country.



As a result to these posters many Americans Helped and ultimately the war was won and it couldn't have been done without these Propaganda posters promoting Everyone they could to support the cause of the war.
