WW1 Propaganda


























What can you see in this image?


I can see the Germans hiding from the maori people with their ancestors protecting them. 

How are the different figures in the image portraid?

To me the figures look like that the maori people will be protected by their ancestors and that they will win the fight against the German Soldiers.

Who is the Target Audience?

Maori people over the age of 20 to try to convince them to enter the war.

What is the purpose of this image?

The purpose of this image is to get the maori people to fight                                                                     along side England in the war
      
How effective is this?

I feel it wasn't very effective but it seemed to be at the time because a lot of people under 20 signed up for the war

Why were recruiters at the time specifically targeting the Maori?

Possibly because of the tribal fights they usually do, and they thought this could also be a good opportunity to send more maori people off to fight so then less English people could die from the war.

What can you see in this image?
I see a ghost/ancestor  helping/saving a fighter in the war  kill the other guys.
• How are the different figures in the image portrayed?
The ancestor is helping the fighter, the two other fighters are very terrified about what is going to happen.  Maori vs German.

the maori that don't want to go to war, to promote war and see how COOL it is.
• What is the purpose of the image?
To promote war and make people want to go and fight for some countries

For me it is not very effective, it does not promote war and make me want to go.For other people I think it might be effective.

Because of the treaty they signed and, so they have more fighters to save the countries.
