Abstract
Jean Jacques Rousseau once said, “The moment a man fenced a piece of land and said ‘this is mine,’ equality among people was destroyed and wars began.” (Ayhan, 2007). Throughout human history, wars have inevitably affected human life, sometimes causing great destruction and even the complete annihilation of civilizations. With the advancement of technology and its integration into daily life, developments in the field of warfare have resulted in armies becoming more powerful, mobile, and destructive. Alongside technological advancements, political movements and media institutions worldwide have also transformed. Before going to war, countries have had to use media and propaganda as effectively as warfare itself to justify their actions to their own people and to other countries. Indeed, propaganda efforts have often proven to be more effective than military actions. During World War I, European states, seeking colonies and land, engaged in propaganda efforts to justify their actions to the world’s people and gain military support. Prior to and during the Gallipoli Campaign, the propaganda efforts of the British, French, and Australian governments led to groups that had never before confronted each other to unleash death upon one another from opposing trenches. Counter-propaganda efforts during wartime have been employed in many wars since and are still in use today.
