Media Propaganda and Invasion Literature

In the years preceding up to World War I, Europe's media and literature were saturated with nationalism and propaganda, which had a significant impact on the public. The populace may gladly accept the narrative of being the best and having a far superior culture, manners, and military.

The Germans were constructing their own story to promote their own goals. As the pre-war German press portrayed the British as avaricious, hypocritical, and concerned with money, the British were portrayed as avaricious, hypocritical, and obsessed with money. This type of media propaganda was widely used throughout Europe, and it was a crucial factor in instilling nationalist fervor and pro-war sentiment. Furthermore, most of the information written at the period poured gasoline to the fire by racial profiling other races, leading to xenophobia. Many novels, including some bestsellers, piqued readers' interest and apprehensions about possible foreign invasions. These stories were later classified as "invasion literature".
