Abstract: 

The article discusses the role and significance of different types of domestic and foreign printed propaganda used by the European powers during the World War I.

The examples of impact of different printed propaganda materials on the general public in the frontline area and in the rear of the enemy are provided. The main attention is paid to significant emphasis the combatant countries placed on creating and distributing vivid map caricatures, easily understandable by broad population and playing an important role in shaping enemy’s public opinion.
