Propaganda

These was an example of a propaganda of France against Germany is these picture that it is a French guy kicking a German apparently easily. These make a lot of anger in Germany so people in that country feel ashamed and get courage against France. These also make French community to feel superior because of the propaganda because the poster has the image of France beating Germany. All of these cause that the people feel more nationalism for their country so they want to fight more to defend their country in these case Germany and France.

The main social, political, and economic structures in France

The social structure of France during the war was basically like this: almost every job in the country, like teacher, mailman, business owners, etc. were now done by women. Few jobs had men in it. People had to give away metallic objects so they can be melted and turned into weapons. The letters people received from a friend or family in the war were totally censured, as well as the life in the trenches. Everyone knew at least one person who went to war and came back injured, sick, or even dead. There was a food shortage because a lot of it was being imported. Those who lived in the north of France lived in fear of the Germans coming to attack, and those who lived in the south feared of what they saw in the newspapers.

Politics in France during WWI went like this: Before the war, there were 19 monarchies in Europe and only 3 republics. During the war people from all countries, came up with ideas on peace, many new types of government were discovered or resurrected, but the one that really hit hard was the republic. France was one of the few countries which were already a Republic on its way to democracy. So little change was made on the politic field in France during and after WWI, but France sure did have a lot of influence on countries who were interested in creating a republic.

Finally, the economic structure in France during the war was at a crisis, the French had lost a lot of valuable territory and were greatly destroying their country, thankfully the central powers surrendered before the allies did. If the French economy was at a crisis during the war, it didn’t exactly got better after it, since France and the other Allies had to pay the countries who helped them approximately 10 billion for their cooperation. Many European countries (France included) began printing a lot of money, which eventually would lead to inflation.
