Introduction
During World War II, posters were used to promote the war effort. Small posters were everywhere, it seemed, reminding people of the difficulties that U.S. troops were facing overseas. Created by both the government and by corporations, they conveyed social, economic, and political concepts. To view posters from World War II and read about their use and importance, go to the National Museum of American History Web site.
