=﻿10 Artifacts= This was a poster of Uncle Sam, the icon of America during World War Two. He was used by the U.S. Army to make people feel like they had to enlist. We still see these posters in our media often.

This was another enlistment poster that was popular during that time period. This poster was made right after Pearl Harbour was bombed. This would make people feel like they have a civic duty to protect their country.

This was yet another enlistment poster. However, instead of using pictures from the war itself, they decided to use and artist rendition of the war to make it look more glamorus than it really was.

This is a plea to families to send war bonds to the military fighting World War Two. They used a swastika shadow near children to say that their children were in danger of being killed by Nazis. This would makes families want to protect their kids by sending money to help the war.

Letting children know what was going on overseas was also important. Captain America gave a more super human type look at World War Two. Captain America would stand for justice and fight against Hitler.

Captain America became so very popular that they made a series on television for him. He didn't have the same costume in the comic book, but it brought even more public attention the World War Two.

Looney Tunes depicted Bugs Bunny as Stalin in one of their cartoons. This raised even more awareness of the war to the younger audiences.

This was another wildly renouned poster from the 1940s. In the picture, "Rosie" is showing off her muscles to promote women's rights to be in the war.



This image shows a woman fixing a military weapon. This was showing how women could be in the war even if they weren't "fighting" persay.

This was a Russian magazine, Leningrad, that was sold in 1943 to tell people how the war was going. Russians would look to this resource like we would watch the news or read the paper to find information about the war in Afghanistan.
