Read the epitaphs of every memorial in the country. It will say 'they shall never be forgotten'

So don't take the piss out of innocent people who gave their lives so you can be alive here in never never land. They didn't have mobile phones and facebook. They were fighting for our country and died awful deaths.

They should NEVER be forgotten because they had no luxury we have today.

[CptainGarmaZabi]

We have a problem, There is a very VERY large lack of Propaganda that supports the German Empire >.>

[creamofcardstv]

It's fascinating looking at this early propaganda

[nefandix]

fucking chauvinism, all people fighting for the "best" cause, the cause of their rulers. Cool video.

[paljim24]

Great teaching resource; thanks for posting!

[gamesDAMNED]

The empire needs men! Jump into the meat grinder because we say so! Otherwise, scary monsters we just invented will take over everything, and your children will laugh at you for being a loser. Now hurry up and get get blown to bits on the battlefield!  We just ordered some new cannons and the king wants to test them out in between polo matches and orgies. God Save the King!

Abolish the central bank

[Guildou]

The Snake poster is an ad saying "we must fight tuberculosis as if it was the badest reptile", it's not really war propaganda.

The poster with a French flag under the sunrays of USA's flag is saying "the state buy supplies from the USA, the Adam Bank support the National Defense".

In the end of WW1, France and England gave so much money to the US in order to get supplies that USA was rich and started it's economic boom. France was destroyed, it had huge debts and families were amputed.

[DavidsonVROOM]

Anyone know the name of the poster at 0:31?

[IAmTheWoodenDoors]

Some of the tactics used by these posters are so low...

[TashkentFox]

If you think these are bad, you should look at some WWII-era posters from the Soviet Union.

[cheomire]

during the french mutinies in 1917, the poilus or the average infantryman, his situation was hopeless. of course the monied classes, the aristocrats, and the politicians needed these average men to continue the fight. or their holiday would be done for. to fight for king and country is a fallacy, one that consumed a lot of young men.

[helmuthoorn]

Pretty convincing stuff if you were a young man in the UK during that time.

[warmadscot]

deos anyone else find these posters disgusting as I do, and just think of the white feathers given to men because they just don't wish to die, pointless

[InvaderZim390]

They didn't show the one with the woman and baby who sunk after Lusitania and says ENLIST. That one was pretty bad

[dadecountyhustler305]

well thats very easy to say. But if I was French I would do anything to throw out an invading enemy? Either that or suffer a brutal enemy occupation for decades

[wescoproductions]

this video was playing in social studies today and i just happen to fall upon it

[SirLaker]

Since you saw it in class its likely you searched for it? lol

[celtics34champs]

"boys in khaki boys in blue" is the song lol

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

Yes of course it was. In fact it's absolutely hilarious to the tune of an estimated 10 million lives lost. So pricks like you (that they died to give freedom to) can take the piss some 60 years later.

Bring back conscription and do it NOW. This world needs to learn respect and morality.

[0scaru]

@ILiveOnMyBoat

so ur saying that if they had conscription again, you'd sign up for it in a heartbeat?

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

@0scaru Yes sir I would.

Would you?

[0scaru]

@ILiveOnMyBoat

admitedly, I wouldnt. Sure, the excitement is immeasurable, I imagine; I don't think I'm willing to risk my life simply for that however.

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

@0scaru It's hypothetical agreed but I would personally put my life at risk for my country as so many do as we speak/write/electronically communicate.

We live in far better times thanks to the ancestors who died for us.

Let they NEVER be forgotten or mocked by a generation that wouldn't last a night without a computer let alone in a field with a compass.

Point taken?

[SororThothma]

People should want to serve their country. However, I do hold that the first, best service to oneself and to one's country & family is to become as cognizant, as accurately informed, & as immune to emotional & psychological manipulation by ways of propaganda and indoctrination as possible. One smart, media savvy, conscious citizen is worth a thousand gun toting flag waving soldiers. It is very easy to die for one's country, but far more difficult to use one's brain for one's nation, thus few do.

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

@SororThothma - Hypothetically yes we would all be conscientious objectors knowing the outcome of war. We have learned a lot from our fore fathers needless sacrifice as led by media propaganda. It was not their fault they died serving for freedom then and now.

Tell us where your conscious citizen, smart and savvy has used their brain in avoidance of fighting for freedom?

Pray tell because in the reality of this world no matter how much you can see through an objective more fool you to fight it?

[SororThothma]

@ILiveOnMyBoat The more conscious a citizen is (in general), the more media savvy they are and the more they know how to recognize propaganda & media spin (including in the halls of academia & education) the more likely they are to question authority & resist it when they recognize it as corrupt and/or in the wrong. A conscious citizen ergo uses their brain to fight for real freedom rather than sheepishly picking up a gun and just doing what they are told by their flag waving leaders.

[SororThothma]

@ILiveOnMyBoat George Washington & Thomas Jefferson are superb examples of men using their minds in the service of true freedom. It was their minds (and other great thinkers like Franklin & Adams) who drafted the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, (and later) the Bill of Rights. And yes they had to fight to make them stick, but it was their superior intelligence, planning & strategies that made it happen. The guns & canons were adjunctive. Mind power made the USA, not gun power.

[SororThothma]

Lastly, without minds keen enough to recognize tyranny & oppressive forms of government, those types of evil governments just go on and on unopposed - because tyrannical governments (like Communism & rampant Capitalism) rely on people lacking the brain power to perceive them. That is why such oppressive kinds of governments always endeavor to dumb down their citizenry. Dumb citizens are easier to control - just keep them glued to the boob tube and don't let them think for themselves (USA now)

[D3adtrap]

@SororThothma

You have no idea what you are talking about -.-' Maybe you mean tolataristic goverment rather than accusing economic systems...

[SororThothma]

@D3adtrap Indeed I do know what I speak about: Governmental types & economic systems go completely hand in hand. Follow the money, it always finances the philosophy via which the ruling powers implement their policies. Perhaps you should better educate yourself in regard to the symbiotic relationship money/economics has with political power structures. It is money that pulls the strings and that wears the mask of government, not the other way around - irrespective of the names it assumes.

[Mrvort]

You know what's funny? Soviet propeganda.

[WhoIsTadhg]

1:19, that's kinda funny the Irish were in the midst of throwing the British of their Island. Easter 1916.

[CulainnVannin]

Wholstaghg, well yes, but many of the Irish did fight for the English. In fact the famous song, The Foggy Dew, in many lines expresses how Irishmen should not go and fight for England and instead fight for their homeland, i.e. lines like "'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar" and "Twas England bade our wild geese go, that 'small nations might be free'; Their lonely graves are by Suvla'ss waves or the fringe of the great North Sea."

[fuckYouDisneeCunt]

didnt we execute all the leaders of that uprising?

[WhoIsTadhg]

oh the leaders of the Uprising got executed for sure. But boy was that dumb, dumb on the part of the British. They turned those boys into heroes and martyrs. It further gave strength and resolve to the Irish. The War of Independence 3 years later proved that. 15,000 heroes of the IRA out fought 42,100 Brits composed of the British Army, RIC, Black and Tans, Auxiliary Division, and Ulster Special Constabulary.

[fuckYouDisneeCunt]

tis true

[Jelle1880]

And still there's a part of ireland that is British.

How cool.

[Jelle1880]

And yet thousands of Irishmen joined the British army :)

Even before England declared war on Germany there were already approximately 50.000 Irishmen serving in the British army, both as regulars and reserves. Another 80.000 enlisted in the first 12 months of the war.

Half were from Ulster though. There were a total of 12 Irish regiments in the british army, infantry and cavalry. So I don't think the hatred was THAT strong ;)

[WhoIsTadhg]

of course half were from Ulster. those from Ulster were transplants, with a British identity, not an Irish identity.

and those Irish that did fight for England believed their fight would strengthen resolve for Home Rule and would garner them favor.

[crinklecuter]

propaganda is a very interesting subject =() pple get so angry about it

[MirrorKissesX]

can someone please tell me what song this is and who sang it?

thnx =]

[ZemplinTemplar]

It's quite funny to see these old war propaganda posters today. Yes, they genuinely are amusing, but on the other hand, they also give you quite a chilly feeling ("eat less bread", taking advantage of emotions), when you realise they just echo the psychosis of a war-torn era (also in the boundaries of defence, not just offensive agression). Anyway, I fully agree with Tonks88's comment, so I'm not going to write the same things all over again.

[Tonks88]

You're an idiot who obviously doesn't know or understand the study of history and propaganda. Firstly you don't know for a fact that the people who saw this propaganda believed it, a great many may not have done and there is a limit to what images such as these can persuade people to do without first having to build on ideas and emotions which were already present.

Secondly, propaganda has always been used in events of crisis and war and the government is not trying to make money off it!

[ZemplinTemplar]

This is a superb comment.

[elyy0612]

seriously it's funny how the gov comes up with stupid things like this. they just wanna make money and shit. fucking bastards i don't understand how people at the time actually believed this. thats bullshit.

[ultradumbass]

lol the government made these propaganda as if they acre what happens to us.... they use as pawns to die in vain, so they can try to gain their own wealth and power.

[clarky6]

Why did we ever give it up?

[VietnamReenactor]

cool

[SomeFatGuy666]

lol

[Xiloforce]

"Who's absent", it's probably one of the more publicated propaganda in England. I'm speaking about the slogant present in a lot of british propagandas.. when people are working and only one guy is doing nothing on the foreground.

[neitilinvandring]

Good work! The old propaganda is so naive in contrast to todays massive total propaganda. Got some more old propaganda to show us?

[Spunkykoala]

good job, and thank you

[mixquartet]

Well done, this was very interesting.

[LIVERLADD]

I don`t think they needed propeganda back then as they felt it was a sense of duty and didn`t want to be the one left behind

[chrismcardle44]

what's the name of this song? I need it for my history project

[aegeanxY]
