The Image of Romanians in the German Press during the Military Occupation, 1916-1918

Summary/Abstract: "The present research follows the topic of German propaganda in the press, during the German occupation. The study focuses primarily on the discourse promoted in the local German press, from cities such as Focșani, Râmnicu Sărat, Brăila. Being put in a position to explain the soldiers invasion and occupation of a territory, German propaganda has achieved true icons of employment, issue totally absent when Allied press. Given this fact, I sought to discover the patterns and customs of such rhetoric, and also to integrate the perception of Romanians in the broader logic of war and the Eastern Front. This propaganda tried to cultivate the importance of the German factor in the development of Romania. The reign of Carol I and the influence on this territory was one of the main topics. Many times the German newspapers wrote about the plight of the inhabitants, about the poor houses, about the lack of hygiene and others."
