ABSTRACT
In the light of dissent expressed by a large portion of the population, the propagandists' first strategic move was to exhibit some posters to counter the movement, dissuade the public from taking ideological positions contrary to the intervention and defend commercial interests. In expressing common feelings, a sense of unity was offered to the nation as a whole, so that any threat to it was equal to an attack upon each citizen and upon his/her own identity. The US propagandists attempted to render the population conscious of the fact that, from a social standpoint, its identity was made up of a heterogenous mixture of people from everywhere in the world and that this awareness had always animated the American spirit. Many artists highlighted how union actually did mean strength and constituted the principle weapon for final victory, drawing a strong link between how much was done at home and the success of the armed forces in Europe: "Teamwork wins".
