The Mad Dog of Europe - A Call for America's Intervention in the Great War, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and symbolic cartoon, published in the New York Press in 1915, encapsulates the growing sentiment in the United States that it was time to intervene in the ongoing carnage of the First World War in Europe. The image of a bloodthirsty, mad dog, represented by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, gnashing his teeth and dripping with blood and burning buildings, was a common allegory used to depict the perceived evil and instability of the German leader. The figure of America, dressed in the stars and stripes, is shown as a brave and strong hound, determined to catch the mad dog and put an end to the chaos and destruction. The image of America as a dog is symbolic of the country's role as a protector and defender of peace and stability in the world. The quotation "America should help to catch the mad dog of Europe" is a clear call for the United States to take action against the perceived threat of German aggression. The image of the mad dog with a collar and bones, reminiscent of a criminal or dangerous animal, further emphasizes the need for intervention. This cartoon reflects the growing tensions and events leading up to America's eventual entry into the war in 1917. It is a powerful reminder of the symbolism and allegory used to shape public opinion during times of conflict and the role that media and art can play in shaping historical narratives.
