Newspapers played a crucial role during the World War era, serving as one of the primary sources of information and shaping public opinion. Our project delves into these historical publications, examining how they influenced the rise of radical nationalism, particularly in countries like Germany. Through textual analysis, we aim to uncover the rhetorical devices and narrative techniques used by newspapers to promote extreme nationalist ideologies, often driven by propaganda. This broader examination provides a glimpse into the dynamics of wartime communication and the impact it had on society's understanding of the conflict.
Using an extensive archive from various countries involved in World War, our project explores how these publications changed in tone and content throughout the war. By analyzing linguistic features, rhetorical strategies, and thematic patterns, we seek to understand the mechanisms behind propaganda and how it influenced public perception. Our findings are presented through a series of interactive graphs and visualizations, allowing users to explore the data and gain insights into the socio-political climate of the era. Ultimately, this research aims to illuminate the power of the media in shaping social attitudes and contribute to the ongoing discussion on nationalism and propaganda.
