Therefore, in order to make the people help the British government employed a variety of persuasive techniques through posters to convince the people to join the war effort.

At the start of the war the use of recruitment propaganda was quite minimal. However, over time when people started to realise the devastation and death toll of the war, less people volunteered. Therefore, the government increased the amount of propaganda by hanging more posters, publishing newspapers and more, in the effort to increase their chances in defeating the Ottoman Empire.
