                INTRO - Hi~I'm Lily, as you know. Today I'm here to share my history presentation with you. I hope you like it!

   Have you ever heard about the 'Propaganda'? Well, it isn't a quite familiar topic, right? Today, I am going to present about the historical propaganda. I will tell you about the definition of propaganda, history of it, and propaganda today.

   To begin with, what is the propaganda? According to the Oxford dictionaries, propaganda is an information, especially of a biased, or misleading mature, used to promote a political cause or point of view. In my dictionary, it is often inaccurate information used to influence people. In short words, I think propaganda is an information given to people to persuade them. This usually emphasises only the advantages or disadvantages of an idea or something. People use posters, media and some slogans for propaganda. For instance, slogans such as 'Death before slavery', 'Liberty, equality, fraternity', or 'They shall not pass'  are used in revolutions and wars, according to Teary Deary.

   Next, I will tell you about the history of propaganda briefly. People started to make it in ancient time. The term 'propaganda' is made in 1622. It was still used in modern times, and even today, 21st century.

   Third, I will talk about its usages. It was usually used in war times. For example, there were propagandas used in world war 1. They were used to persuade people to join the army and fight the enemy in the battlefield. Nazi, a famous dictator also used some propagandas at 1933~1945.

  Propaganda was made, and influencing people's life from an ancient time to today. At ancient time, when propaganda was first made and used, some nobles and wealthy people used propagandas to show their power and Honor to the citizens. According to an encyclopedia and a history website, ancient Greeks could be the first people to think of propaganda. That was the start of history of propaganda. Propagandas are also used by a king and a queen of Spain, in 1588. There were some modern propagandas, too. They were used to encourage people to do something like revolting.

This picture, saying 'I want you' is an example of propaganda. It was made by James Montgomery. It is a poster used in World War 1 and World War 2. It was made to persuade people to join U.S army. The citizen's side can also make a propaganda. They could persuade other citizens to protest the government's side.

   Lastly, I will talk about the propaganda today. Propagandas are still used and made today. For instance, there is a propaganda poster advertising about the middle east conflict, made by USA. This would be an example of propaganda informing about global issues. Plus, there could be some religious propagandas, too.
 
  Well, do you think propagandas are useful and good for all the people? Or do you think is is just to biased, useless, and bad? I think it sometimes are helpful, but sometimes doesn't. To conclude, I told you about the propaganda . I hope you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for reading this!
