The simplicity of this method in reaching public at large and states uses propaganda tools throughout wars. Realizing, the power of propaganda, many states entered into fierce propaganda races with posters, which they prepared during the First and Second World Wars. The posters were used both to speed up the gathering of soldiers and to gain public support. The state administrators, who carried out propaganda activities, wanted to make the people believe that the war was necessary for freedom, by creating the perception of having an enemy. In this sense, this research focuses on analyzing the connection between the trio of war-politics-propaganda and a use of posters during war for propaganda.
