En temps de guerre, tous les motifs sont bons pour soutenir le moral de la population et justifier les actions de l'armée. Recréons le contexte et trouvons la réelle signification, au quotidien, du terme « effort de guerre » (les usines de guerre, les obligations de la Victoire, l'impôt sur le revenu, etc.) La propagande étant vue par certains comme de l'éducation, trouvons en politique locale ou internationale actuelle des exemples de propagande.
