Back in the 1940s, the United States and the world went through one of the most significant and traumatic periods of recent human history. World War II started in September of 1939, when Hitler and Germany launched an unprovoked attack on Poland. This left many people shocked and confused about what was going to happen and how this conflict was going to end. Hitler’s single decision to invade ultimately cascaded into the second World War. The majority of highly populated countries took part, as every nation felt like they needed to take a side in the conflict. Such polarizing conditions left people on both sides of the conflict fearing the future and what may happen. This situation made it much easier for people to be convinced to comply with commands, if they thought it would help support their country or more importantly protect them from any potential danger. The United States government took advantage of this kairotic situation by creating and distributing propaganda with the goal of convincing people to support their country with some action. One piece of propaganda was created to convince people to join car sharing clubs by saying “When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler.” This piece of propaganda used by the United States government took advantage of citizens’ fear of Hitler and Germany to accomplish the task of saving fuel in order to be used in the war efforts.
