Propaganda during the Cold War played a significant role in shaping public perception and influencing opinions about the ideological battle between capitalism and communism. Both the United States and the Soviet Union utilized various media—films, literature, posters, and broadcasts—to promote their ideologies and discredit the opponent. This information warfare sought to instill patriotism, demonize adversaries, and rally support for military and foreign policies. Notable examples include Hollywood's portrayals of communism and the creation of media like Radio Free Europe, which targeted Eastern Bloc nations. The overarching goal was to secure ideological loyalty and strengthen national resolve amid heightened global tensions.
