Cartaz de Propaganda da Primeira Guerra, "Your King & Country Need You", 1914, Inglaterra - Lawson Wood
Propaganda de guerra - Inglaterra
Cartaz / Poster
This British
First World War poster places a soldier of a Scottish regiment at a Belgium
street corner, ready to fight against Germany which had invaded Belgium in
August 1914.
Several
British First World War posters refer to the international Treaty of 1839 which
guaranteed Belgium's neutrality and independence. The Treaty had been signed by
Germany, but when it invaded Belgium in August 1914, the German Chancellor
referred to the Treaty as just a 'scrap of paper'. This statement became a
powerful propaganda tool for the British government as it sought public support
for the war, aiming to arouse sympathy for Belgium and encourage enlistment.
