American Propaganda During World War II

First, they wanted to make the United States agree to its southern expansion diplomatically and demoralize the American people, but if they were unsuccessful, they would go to war. Second, they assumed to combine its area and develop their naval durability since shipbuilding was permitted by the 1940 Vinson- Walsh would erase any opportunity of achievement. Third, they wanted to accomplish what was to destroy America 's capacity to carry out its effort in the pacific, battleships were called at the time to be the major objective. Finally, the aggression will reduce American confidence like the U.S government would feel its request opposite of Japanese attention, and would solicit peace with Japan.(History.com).

President Roosevelt approved several orders and committees that specifically targeted Japanese Americans on the West Coast, while war propaganda was created to instill fear and hatred of the Japanese in the American people. World War II not only exacerbated the racial tension within the American people, but also excused the racist actions taken by American government against the Japanese Americans, as the Americans then prided themselves for fighting in the “good war”. War time propaganda was used to influence the American people psychologically in order to alter their social perceptions of the Japanese, as America considered Japan to be their number one enemy. The posters during the this time were used as a fear tactic, as well as a way to

When America placed this embargo the purpose of it was to stop Japan from taking over more territory. Japan did not like that America had placed the embargo in the way of the shipping of their goods. As a result of this embargo being placed the Japanese Army decided that they wanted to do a surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor Military Base.

During his speech, President Roosevelt made it seem like the Japanese just attacked us out of nowhere but really we provoked it. Japan tried to suggest ideas for compromise between itself and the United States,” but “The U.S did not agree.” After this, Japan tried to make another attempt

The United States entered World War I April 6th, 19417. The US joined allies with Britain, France, and Russia to fight in World War I under the commander of Major General John J. Pershing. The US joined World War I for three main causes including moral, economic, and political reasons. Morally, United States citizens were called to duty to enlist in war because of propaganda from anti-German 's. Economically, American citizens entered war to secure economic productivity better yet, make a profit. Politically, unregulated submarine combat from Germany afflicted exports to Britain.

While Goldwater’s political stance leaned more toward unnecessary military action against the USSR, Johnson’s campaign completely disagreed with the notion. Therefore, in an effort to negatively objectify Goldwater’s stance on the Cold War, the notorious Daisy ad created frightening depictions of the extermination of an innocent young girl by a nuclear attack, obviously provoked by Goldwater. LBJ then follows this accusation on Goldwater by stating that ,“These are the stakes. To make a world in which all of God 's children can live, or to go into the dark. We must either love each other, or we must die.”

Winning the war would require the United States to abandon its absolute commitment its core values of isolationism, humanitarianism, and democracy At the time, it appeared that both Hitler and Japan were bent on total domination. Hitler had taken over nearly all of Europe, and the Japan was expanding its influence in the Pacific. Both nations had demonstrated that they were willing to do anything to achieve their goals. It was not hard to conceive that if Germany was successful, nearly all of Europe would fall.

During the American Revolution colonists came to change the tyranny that they were once ruled under. Women would believe that they were fighting for their freedom. They were then brainwashed into thinking that their stereotypical life was not bad, but helping win the war by staying at home and keeping quiet.

The attack on Pearl Harbor caused a great deal of damage and enraged the Americans. We were in need of soldiers because the ones who were guarding or working at Pearl harbor were either

President Truman was treating people even worst by putting them through the torture of the bomb and the resulting effects of the bomb. Time became a major factor into the decision, and dropping the bomb was a result of that fear. On the other side of the argument, the Japanese did bomb Pearl Harbor which was the catalyst that got America involved in the first place. We as a country should not need to compromise with the nation who started the battle.

Hitler did it because he didn 't want anyone to find out what actually happened, almost like he was ashamed or embarrassed. Nazi camps and Japanese Internment camps are not the same. Nazi camps and Japanese Internment camps are different because purposes behind the camp, reasons people were sent to the camps, and what they did at the camps. Both camps weren’t right, but one cared about what they did and the other just-killed people for the fun of it. America said sorry for holding Japanese hostage, but Hitler would never apologize because of the history of hatred toward Jews in European history.

shows that the nation has learned some lessons from Vietnam while ignoring others. One reason Americans wholeheartedly support the war was because they were told that the communist would oppress them and take away their freedoms and rights and so in their eyes the invasion or intervention of Vietnam was a necessary thing especially after the U.S. had been attacked at sea (Gulf of Tonkin Incident) but all the military ended up doing was destabilizing Indochina. Just as how in present day, the government told the American people over and over that Iraq was a danger to America’s democracy and that they had WMD even though it wasn’t the case, obviously, the people supported fully the government, and so the U.S. invaded Iraq, managed to drag other countries into the conflict including allies and destabilized the Middle East enough that there is now a current crisis that has no solution in site. One “good” thing that the U.S. did learn was that the media could no long have free rein when it came to war. If the media truthfully reported what was going on then that would turn away support for the war, and so if the media which are now owned by major corporations are presenting positive images of soldiers overseas then they are less likely to protest.

The unexpected Northern Vietnamese attack was used as leverage against the U.S. and as seen from the American’s point of view, it was the definite turning point of the Vietnam War. The Tet Offensive was seen as a symbolic attack to the American public and the purpose of the attack was for the North Vietnamese to send a message to America. The Viet Cong wanted to gain advantages in negotiations to pull ahead in the Vietnam War for the victory (Robbins). Americans saw the attack as a message from the enemies and once they saw that the government was not doing anything to help, doubt began to spread and the American public soon lost trust in the government. Although the presidents tried anything in their hopes to assure the country that the attack was nothing to be worried about, the Tet Offensive already proved that there was nothing able to do to make the war winnable.

In the early 1900’s European countries began competing and with that they were also building strong army’s and navy’s. After a while, the United States got involved and were in need of the people’s support. It took convincing but once people got on board with the idea of going to war, war fever in the United States was at an all-time high. The United Nations had not yet been established which meant conflicts were not getting resolved. This was unlike anything the U.S. had done before.
