The Invasion of Belgium
American cartoonist William Allen Rogers contrasts American and German behavior in Belgium, a neutral country invaded in August 1914 by the German army. In this image, a German soldier guards the almost entirely occupied country, where reports of brutal German behavior belie German claims to be a model of a civilized nation. Meanwhile, Uncle Sam, representing the "plain," and thus by German standards less cultured, people of the United States, sends a constant stream of food, clothing, and other assistance into the suffering country. |
