This? Uncle Sam? It first appeared on the American draft poster during the Second American War of Independence, and an artist depicted the image of Uncle Sam. Of course, this uncle Sam is not created out of thin air, but has a real prototype. His prototype is a businessman in Troy during the American Revolutionary War. People call him Uncle Sam because he is famous in the local area.
During the second American monopoly war. In order to prevent businessmen from selling inferior products to the army, the United States stipulates that they should sell things to the army. Businessmen need to print their names on the packaging of their products. And uncle Sam nature also is such. When Uncle Sam's goods were transported to the front, soldiers from Troy recognized them as Uncle Sam's goods, and the image of Uncle Sam appeared for the first time.
Later, during World War I, because the scale of the war was getting bigger and bigger, although the United States entered the war halfway, there were actually not many soldiers. The United States with only 200,000 troops was definitely not allowed to participate in the war. So the United States chose to recruit soldiers nationwide. But the effect of conscription was not good at first, and it is also good for young people to leave the city to take risks on the battlefield.
Later, because the painter made a design for the American conscription poster, and was also influenced by Uncle Sam, he pointed with one hand and said: What are you going to do? ? What will you do for conscription? ), and then it became? I want you? . Then the effect was very good, so the image of Uncle Sam was very well-known in the United States, and then it spread all over the world.
