Propaganda and Nationalism in World War Era Printed Media

"The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells

"The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells (World War I era)
Paragraph showcasing its use for propaganda:
"The War of the Worlds" subtly fueled British patriotism during World War I by depicting a fictional Martian invasion of England. While the narrative primarily served as science fiction, its portrayal of humanity's resilience and ingenuity in the face of extraterrestrial threat was employed by British propagandists to boost morale and foster a sense of national unity. By drawing parallels between the fictional conflict and the real-life struggles of war, the book effectively contributed to the wartime propaganda effort, encouraging perseverance and solidarity among the British populace.
