USA: USA Bonds - Third Liberty Loan Campaign - Boy Scouts of America Weapons for liberty. First World War propaganda poster, 1917
World War I (WWI or WW1 or World War One), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents technological and industrial sophistication, and tactical stalemate. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, paving the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.
The war drew in all the worlds economic great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire) and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Although Italy had also been a member of the Triple Alliance alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary, it did not join the Central Powers, as Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive against the terms of the alliance.
These alliances were reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies, and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria the Central Powers. Ultimately, more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of patriotism and unity during the Third Liberty Loan Campaign in the United States during World War I. The poster, created in 1917, showcases the Boy Scouts of America as they play a crucial role in supporting their country's war efforts. With weapons held high and determination etched on their faces, these young scouts symbolize bravery and sacrifice. World War I was a devastating global conflict that claimed millions of lives, both military personnel and civilians alike. It brought together powerful nations from around the world into two opposing alliances: the Allies and the Central Powers. As more countries joined this monumental struggle, it became one of history's deadliest conflicts. In this image, we witness how even young boys were encouraged to contribute to their nation's cause. The Boy Scouts' involvement demonstrates how every citizen had a part to play in supporting their troops overseas. This propaganda poster served as a reminder for Americans to invest financially by purchasing bonds to fund the war effort. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of collective responsibility towards a greater cause. It serves as a poignant reminder that wars are fought not just by soldiers on battlefields but also through unity and support from all members of society. This print is an invaluable piece of history that immortalizes an era defined by sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering patriotism – qualities that continue to inspire us today.
