First World War propaganda

First World War propaganda.
The First World War was marked mainly by propaganda and posters that were hung in various cities.
The weight of propaganda organized by the various countries depended on their level of "democracy", namely on the level of participation of the middle strata in the politics of the nation, according to an inverse relationship: the attention paid to propaganda and the size of the persuasive apparatus were exceptional in England and the United States, small in Italy and very poor in Russia and Austria-Hungary. The media, then basically summarized in the press, were an essential component of the progression of the event of war, from its origin to the end, inside and outside the states. When the war broke out the military mobilization was accompanied by an equally impressive political and media mobilization for the development of the legend of "right war", carried out with strength by the traditional right-wing newspapers and the industrial and financial groups, and supported by some left-wing  journalism. The press among the an interventionist forces that made the Great War (and especially its duration and its size) possible.
In Italy at the beginning of the First World War, the vast majority of the country was against or indifferent to the cause of war. The elements that made ​​it possible to overcome this opposition would be ‘support to the king’, ‘the great demonstrations promoted by interventionists’, ‘the press campaign led by the Corriere della Sera’ (an Italian journal)  and ‘the ack of action in neutralist forces.’
