About this ebook
What is War Bond
War bonds are a type of debt security that is issued by a government in order to support military operations and other expenditures during times of war without increasing taxes to an unpopular level. Additionally, they are a method for controlling inflation by removing money from circulation in an economy that is stimulated during a time of conflict. Both retail bonds, which are sold to the general public, and wholesale bonds, which are exchanged on stock markets, are considered to be type of war bonds. There have been several instances in which appeals to patriotism and conscience have been followed by exhortations to purchase war bonds. Like other retail bonds, retail war bonds typically carry a yield that is lower than what is offered by the market. Additionally, retail war bonds are frequently made available in a wide range of denominations in order to ensure that they are within the financial means of all residents.

War Bond - Fouad Sabry
Chapter 1: War bond
War bonds are debt instruments that are issued by a government to pay military operations and other expenditures during times of war without raising taxes to an undesirable level. War bonds are also occasionally referred to as Victory bonds, particularly in propaganda. Additionally, they are a method for controlling inflation by removing money from circulation in an economy that is stimulated during a time of conflict. Both retail bonds, which are sold to the general public, and wholesale bonds, which are exchanged on stock markets, are considered to be type of war bonds. There have been several instances in which appeals to patriotism and conscience have been followed by exhortations to purchase war bonds. Like other retail bonds, retail war bonds typically carry a yield that is lower than what is offered by the market. Additionally, retail war bonds are frequently made available in a wide range of denominations in order to ensure that they are within the financial means of all residents.
To finance their military operations, governments have been forced to borrow money throughout history. Historically, they worked with a tiny group of wealthy financiers such as Jakob Fugger and Nathan Rothschild; nonetheless, there was no specific distinction made between debt incurred during times of war and debt accumulated during times of peace and calm. The phrase war bond
was first used in reference to the eleven million dollars that were generated by the United States Congress through an Act of March 14, 1812, in order to finance the War of 1812. However, this was not intended for the general public. It is possible that the British Consols were the oldest bonds that were still outstanding as a result of war until July of 2015. Some of these bonds were the result of the refinancing of accumulating debts during the Napoleonic Wars; nevertheless, these bonds were redeemed when the Finance Act of 2015 was passed.
The government of Austria-Hungary was aware, from the very beginning of the First World War, that it could not rely on advances from its primary financial institutions in order to fund the ever-increasing expenditures of the war. Instead, it proceeded to develop a program for war finance that was modeled after Germany's:
Victory Bonds
were issued by the Canadian government after 1917, marking the beginning of the country's participation in the First World War, which began in 1914.
At the beginning of the First World War, Germany, in contrast to France and Britain, found itself largely barred from the international financial markets.
In the month of August 1914, as well as the gold reserves held by the Bank of England, and of all the financial institutions in Great Britain in terms of their efficiency, amounted to £9 million.
During the years 1917 and 1918, the government of the United States of America sold Liberty Bonds in order to collect funds for its participation in World War 1. William Gibbs McAdoo, the Secretary of the Treasury, devised a vigorous campaign with the intention of popularizing the bonds. The campaign was constructed primarily on the basis of patriotic sentiments.
The declaration of war against Nazi Germany by Canada on September 10, 1939, one week after the United Kingdom's declaration of war, marked the beginning of Canada's participation in the Second World War. Approximately half of the costs of the war in Canada were financed by war bonds and war savings certificates, which were referred to as Victory Bonds
in the same way as they were in World War I.
As was done during the First World War, the Nazi regime never made any attempt to persuade the general population to purchase long-term war bonds with the intention of purchasing them.
During both of the world wars, the National Savings Movement played a significant role in the United Kingdom in terms of raising significant amounts of money for the war effort. A War Savings Campaign was established by the War Office in order to provide financial assistance to the war effort during World War II. There were local savings weeks that were held, and posters with names like Lend to Defend the Right to Be Free,
Save Your Way to Victory,
and War Savings Are Warships
were used to promote them.
By the summer of 1940, the triumphs that Nazi Germany had achieved against Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Luxembourg brought a sense of urgency to the government, which had been covertly planning for the possibility of the United States becoming involved in World War II.
During the process of formulating the objectives for the bond program, Henry Morgenthau Jr. sought the assistance of Peter Odegard, a political scientist who specialized in propaganda. when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which led to the United States entering the war, the name of the bonds was finally changed to War Bonds. This occurred when the United States entered the war.
The War Advertising Council was tasked with promoting voluntary compliance with bond buying, while the War Finance Committee was given the responsibility of overseeing the sale of all bonds. Any Bonds Today?, a theatrical cartoon produced by Warner Bros. in 1942, was one example of popular current art that was utilized to assist in the promotion of the bonds. During the first three years of the National Defense Savings Program, more than a quarter of a billion dollars' worth of advertising was given to the program. By utilizing popular culture, the government was able to appeal to the general people. With the help of a war bond campaign that brought in 132 million dollars, Norman Rockwell's painting series known as the Four Freedoms went on tour. Bond rallies were staged all throughout the country with prominent celebrities, most of whom were Hollywood film stars, in order to increase the impact of the bond promotion. In many movies that were released during that time period, particularly war dramas, which were considered to be a type of propaganda in and of themselves, there was a graphic that was displayed during the closing credits that encouraged viewers to Buy War Bonds and Stamps.
These stamps and bonds were sometimes sold in the lobby of the theater. slogans such as Buy U.S. Bonds and Stamps
were among the patriotic slogans that the Music Publishers Protective Association encouraged its members to write on the front of their sheet music. Throughout the duration of the war, roughly $185 billion worth of bonds were purchased by 85 million Americans of American descent.
Taking its name from the Hollywood Victory Caravan that took place in 1942, a film that was made by Paramount in 1945 promoted bond sales following the conclusion of World War II. In addition to Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Alan Ladd, William Demarest, Franlin Pangborn, Barbara Stanwyck, and Humphrey Bogart, the short subject featured performances by a number of other actors.
In addition to the production of films and music, there were a multitude of additional initiatives that were carried out across the states in order to encourage the consumption of war bonds. One such promotion that was done, at the very least, in the states of Nebraska and Montana, gave individuals the opportunity to get Hitler's goat,
which is a play on the phrase to get someone's goat,
which is to irritate or anger someone. A auction
would be arranged for the goat, and the proceeds would be put toward purchasing war bonds.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Ukrainian government made the announcement on March 1 that
