One political decision made by the Axis powers to mobilize its population in World War II was the enforcement of strict censorship and propaganda campaigns. This decision aimed to control the flow of information and manipulate public opinion to support the war effort. While it did effectively garner support in the short term, it also limited the ability of citizens to access unbiased news and information, ultimately hindering critical thinking and fostering blind obedience. Additionally, the use of propaganda often relied on manipulation and misinformation, undermining trust in the government and eroding the long-term credibility of the Axis powers.
