Sažetak
War propaganda in 1848 and 1849 was first a strong support for starting of war and after that to military operations of Jelačić’s forces in the field. It was most strongly disseminated through newspapers, which were at that time the most important public and social institution, influencing formation of public opinion on the one side and following it on the other. Therefore, this article analyses, within the context of the war propaganda, writings of Narodne novine, Agramer Zeitung, Slavenski Jug and Südslavische Zeitung, newspapers published ad that time and influencing the area of the so-called Ban’s Croatia. The main aim of war propaganda was first to insure moral and then also material support of domestic public for starting the war and then for its continuation and providing support for military operations, influence the fighting moral and fighting readiness of the army itself. On the other hand, the war propaganda also tried to influence the enemy side with the aim of inciting defeatism and demoralisation in its ranks, but also tried to persuade civil population of Hungary that the aim of the started war is its liberation from tyranny of one political party. Because otf that, in its discourse were used topics of inevitability and legality, by which the war campaign was justified and legitimised both before domestic public and before the public of the adversary side, and they were followed by positive picture of itsown army and its commander-in-chief Ban Jelačić on the one side and negative picture of adversarial Hungarian army. The propaganda was initially, at least in relation to domestic public and army, successful, but as the time passed by and political circumstances changed, both influence of the propaganda and the propaganda itself weakened.
