The U.S. Becomes a World Power A. By 1900, the USA had defeated Spain, built a large navy, annexed new lands, & dominated Latin America B. In the 20th century, the USA developed a more aggressive foreign policy to increase its stature in the world II. Early 20th Century U.S. Foreign Policy A. Theodore Roosevelt’s “Big Stick Diplomacy” 1. TR wanted to increase America’s stature in the world, spread U.S. culture, & be ready to fight if needed 2. The most important foreign policy objective under TR was the creation of the Panama Canal a. When the Columbian gov’t rejected America’s lease offer, TR backed a revolt in Panama against Columbia b. In 1903, the newly formed Republic of Panama allowed the U.S. to build the Panama Canal c. Creating the canal gave the U.S. an economic advantage but also required the U.S. to police Latin America 3. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine a. The U.S. grew fearful of European interference in Latin America (esp. Germany & England in Venezuela) b. In 1904, TR declared the that U.S. had “international police powers” in the Western Hemisphere c. The Lodge Corollary in 1912 (under Taft) added an economic element to the Monroe Doctrine d. Roosevelt Corollary was used to justify military intervention in Latin America but often led to dictators 4. TR’s foreign policy with Japan: mediated the Russo-Japanese War & negotiated Root-Takahira Agreement B. William Howard Taft’s “Dollar Diplomacy” 1. Taft deviated from TR’s emphasis on military strength in favor of using American trade as a foreign policy tool 2. “Dollar diplomacy” was effective in protecting Latin America from European debtors but not in Asia C. Woodrow Wilson’s “Moral Diplomacy” 1. When Wilson became president, he was well versed in domestic policy but knew little about foreign policy 2. Wilson believed that the U.S. should spread peace, democracy, & human rights without resorting to militarism 3. Moral diplomacy failed to bring positive conclusion to the Mexican Revolution a. Wilson protested Mexican dictator Huerta’s coup d’etat in 1913 by sending U.S. military to invade Tampico b. Pancho Villa resented U.S. support of new president Carranza & raided New Mexico c. Moral diplomacy seemed to fail by the time World War I began in Europe in 1914 III. Conclusions 14 “Over There”: The U.S. in World War I I. The Outbreak of the Great War—What Caused World War I? II. American Neutrality (July 1914 to April 1917) A. Problems with the American neutrality policy 1. Wilson vowed that the U.S. would stay neutral due to traditional non-involvement, progressivism, & immigrants 2. But, maintaining American neutrality was difficult due to: a. European propaganda efforts & trade ties with England & France b. Violations of the freedom of the seas i. The English blockade of Germany violated America’s right to trade as a neutral nation ii.

GEORGE CREEL AND THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC INFORMATION 1917-1918 By Chloe Maxwell In September of 1916, a relatively unknown Kansas City journalist published a short book titled Wilson and the Issues.1 The short book, only 167 pages in length, was released deliberately in line with President Woodrow Wilson’s reelection. Within these pages, author George Creel systematically defends Wilson and his first term as president. Creel discusses events such as the German occupation of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusitania, and Wilson’s neutrality.2 Those familiar with Creel’s work called him a professional “muckraker” and an outspoken supporter of the Progressive agenda.3 Before war broke out in Europe, Creel advocated for child labor reforms, woman’s suffrage, and direct democracy. Over the course of World War 1, George Creel created an unprecedented propaganda machine that unified the United States behind the war.

  • Propaganda As Public Relations Antecedent: the Complex Legacy of the Creel Committee Christopher J
    PAPER 1B3 – CHRISTOPHER J. MCCOLLOUGH PROCEEDINGS OF ARMISTICE & AFTERMATH: A MICHIGAN TECH SYMPOSIUM ON WWI • SEPT. 28-29 2018 Propaganda as Public Relations Antecedent: The Complex Legacy of the Creel Committee Christopher J. McCollough Columbus State University Wars are not won on battlefields alone. Logistics, strategy, resources, force strength, and technology have all played critical roles in determining outcomes in major conflicts throughout history. Yet, there are still two related factors that have much to say about the outcome of major conflicts: propaganda efforts to sell the war effort to the nation states that are a part of the conflict and its impact on public opinion around the participation of those nation states among its citizenry. History offers us some prominent examples that reinforce this point, and they consistently revolve around the ability of parties involved in the conflict to effectively leverage contemporary communication outlets to effective ends in order to shape and manage public opinion. Walter Lippmann’s iconic Public Opinion (1922) provides his perspective as a newsman and as a member of Woodrow Wilson’s collection of journalists, advertisers, early public relations practitioners, and education philosophers who worked from the United States’ involvement in World War I in April of 1917 through the effort to promote the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. He warns of the potential for manipulation of information to cultivate and maintain support for military and political action, and the need for objectivity in journalism and a refined study of public opinion to counter its effects. The father of modern public relations, Edward Bernays, offered two texts on the subject of propaganda and its effectiveness in shaping public opinion on behalf of organizations.

  • Revisiting the Origins of Communication Research: Walter Lippmann’S World War II Adventure in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3721–3739 1932–8036/20170005 Revisiting the Origins of Communication Research: Walter Lippmann’s World War II Adventure in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare DOMINIQUE TRUDEL1 Concordia University, Canada Based on a close study of Walter Lippmann’s correspondence and publications, this article aims to critically reconsider his legacy in the field of communication. To this end, I focus on Lippmann’s involvement in propaganda and psychological warfare activities during the Second World War. Following a succinct overview of the history of the psychological warfare and propaganda agencies, I successively explore three different aspects of Lippmann’s involvement. First, this article examines Lippmann’s contribution to the activities of the Committee for National Morale. Second, the article focuses on the relationship between Lippmann and William “Wild Bill” Donovan, the director of the Office of the Coordinator of Information and the Office of Strategic Services. Third, the article turns to the relationship between Lippmann and Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy, and explores Lippmann’s role in the War Department’s Psychological Warfare Branch. Keywords: communication research history, propaganda, psychological warfare, Second World War Ex-Soviet agent Alexander Vassiliev, who was temporarily granted access to the KGB archives in the mid-1990s, recently revealed some interesting details about Soviet espionage activities in the United States during the Second World War. According to Vassiliev, Walter Lippmann, the famous columnist and communication research pioneer, was an important target for Soviet spies. They recruited his own secretary, Mary Price, as an agent (Haynes, Klehr, & Vassiliev, 2009). In November 1941, Price reported to her Soviet handlers that Lippmann was cutting short his newspaper articles and giving more of his time to secret meetings with government officials.

While the main goal of the CPI was to keep Russia in the war, his view went beyond the conflict and looked at emphasizing the desire of friendly relations between the American and Russian peoples by appealing to the admiration that many Russians felt for the American lifestyle, in order to contain the spread of Bolshevism in Russian territories. Keywords: Bullard; Committe on Public Information; Public Diplomacy; Propaganda; Bolshevik Revolution.

    7/9/2018 Propaganda in World War I: How George Creel Sold Americans on the War - HISTORY HISTORY STORIES MAY 22, 2018 When the U.S. Used 'Fake News' to Sell Americans on World War I P A T R I C I A O ' T O O L E Tweets and accusations of “fake news” may be issued from the White House today, but in April 1917, the U.S. government created a whole committee to inuence media and shape popular opinion. When the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, President Woodrow Wilson faced a reluctant nation. Wilson had, after all, won his reelection in 1916 with the slogan, “He kept us out of the war.” To convince Americans that going to war in Europe was necessary, Wilson created the Committee on Public Information (CPI), to focus on promoting the war eort. To head up the committee, Wilson appointed a brilliant political public relations man, George Creel. As head of the CPI, Creel was in charge of censorship as well as ag-waving, but he quickly passed the censor’s job to Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson. The Post Oce already had the power to bar materials from the mail and revoke the reduced postage rates given to newspapers and magazines. https://www.history.com/news/world-war-1-propaganda-woodrow-wilson-fake-news 1/6 7/9/2018 Propaganda in World War I: How George Creel Sold Americans on the War - HISTORY George Creel, head of the Committee on Public Information, at the War Exposition in Chicago in 1918.

One is reading and two are working on a sewing project. A small black cat meanders nearby this domestic scene. This image placed an emphasis on gendered spatialization-women are at home performing traditional women's work, such as sewing and maintaining the home, while men are outside performing men's work, such as fighting in the war. It relates the act of a man fighting in WWI to protecting his women and his home.

  • Walter Lippmann's Critique of Censorship and Propaganda
    CHAPTER 16 "THE WORLD'S GREATEST ADVENTURE IN ADVERTISING": WALTER LIPPMANN'S CRITIQUE OF CENSORSHIP AND PROPAGANDA SUE CURRY JANSEN [T]here is no way of evading the fact that liberty is not so much permis­ sion as it is the construction of a system of information increasingly inde­ pendent of opinion. -Walter Lippmann, Liberty and the News' After World War I private industry converted wartime technology to peacetime use. And they also applied wartime propaganda methods to launching peacetime services and products. -Edward Bernays, Biography of an Idea' THE Great War, as the First World War was known to those who experienced it, is regarded as a transformative moment in human history. It marked the end of the Western world's faith in the inevitability of human progress; it was the first industrial war; the first total war in which civilians as well as combatants were deliberately tar­ geted; and it was also the first global information war. Propaganda and even psychological warfare are ancient arts that played important roles in warfare long before there was a critical vocabulary to describe these activi­ ties. During the First World War, however, they were practiced on a scale never before imagined as modern technological and organizational knowledge and resources were 302 SUE CURRY JANSEN effectively mobilized to "fight the Hun:' So, effectively, in fact, that after the war, German generals and some independent analysts claimed the war was not lost in the trenches but in the minds of the German people, who succumbed to British and American propaganda. The generals were determined that this would never happen again.

Lippmann argued that the global power vacuum generated by the war presented the ideal opportunity for American values to spread to places like Eastern Europe and South America, the latter under the veil of “Pan-Americanism.” The Pan-American movement would disguise the U.S.
