Legal Definitions - hostile propaganda

Definition: Hostile propaganda is a type of propaganda used by one nation to manipulate the people of another nation to support or oppose their government. It is also known as ideological aggression.

Examples:

• During World War II, Nazi Germany used hostile propaganda to turn the people of occupied countries against their own governments and support the Nazi regime.
• In the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union both used hostile propaganda to promote their own ideologies and undermine the other's government.
