art posters of war

What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone? Winston Churchill

On the poster we can see the image of Sir Winston Chirchill, the Prime-Minister of Great Britain (1940-1945, 1951-1954). The dignified British leader says that the British should reunite to fight the Nazi Germany and the militarist Japan. But do you really think that the people of Britain needed further propaganda to understand an obvious fact of German or Japanese threat? Obviously this World War II propaganda poster is aimed at not encouraging the people of the British island, but to put a message across the people of the whole British Empire, the Canadians, the Australians, the South-Africans, the Indians, the Arabians, the Asians, etc. In the first half of the XX c. the British Empire was so broad, that the Britons kept saying that the sun never goes down on the Empire. Nevertheless during the World War II the Arabian intelligentsia sympathized with the Nazi Germany, and the Malaysians leaned towards Japan (being unaware of Nazy and Japanese atrocities). There are also a lot of evidence of the Axis powers influence within the “pax Britannica”. This propaganda poster message is to reunite the anti-Axis forces throughout the peoples of the British Empire. On the poster you can see the Spitfire aircrafts and the infantry Matilda tanks, which might should certainly help in strengthening of the people’s belief in the future victory.
