The effect on influence of Wars

Propaganda from various works such as posters, newspapers, stamps, film, radio broadcasts and infographics can tell us a lot about war and postwar society in the United States. In this assignment you will use a combination of secondary sources from your text book along with at least 3 primary sourced pieces of propaganda to answer one of the three questions for one of the three wars:

How did the Spanish-American War, World War I OR World War II influence… (chose one)

An aspect of Civil rights activism or racial relations?

US Foreign Policy?

Diet and nutrition on the home front?

Labor and workforce

Gender norms/roles in wartime and possibly postwar society?

Based on your selection of primary-source propaganda, argue your case and analyze the images you are using. Select no less than 3 images and no more than 6. You have four gold mines of primary sources readily available for you at:
