Until Latin we have to leave to find the etymological origin of the word propaganda that now concerns us. Specifically, we can determine that it emanates from the Latin word "propaganda" and is from the verb "propagare", which was made up of the following elements:
• The prefix "pro-", which can be translated as "forward".
• The noun "pagus", which is equivalent to "forest or village".
• The suffix "-are", which is used as verbal termination.
Propaganda is the action and effect of making something known . The information broadcast through propaganda aims to seduce potential buyers of a product or contractors of a service , although it can also be destined to add adherents to a cause or campaign
For example: “The propaganda of the new car was a success: all the people talk about it in the street”, "I did not understand the propaganda of the telephone company", "The propaganda of the Army to recruit recruits did not have the expected impact", “The magazine brings more propaganda pages than content”.
The notion of propaganda is often used as a synonym for advertising . In this sense, propaganda can be broadcast on television, radio, graphic media, Internet or even through posters on public roads.

Another use of the concept is associated with messages that are disseminated from a certain sector with the intention of exercising influence on the values or behavior of citizens . Propaganda involves a search for persuasion with political or ideological intent.
Hence the concept of political propaganda that, as its name indicates, is that which is carried out with the clear objective of getting the population to manifest itself in favor of a specific political party and the proposals and ideas that it disseminates . Hence, the set of actions that aim to get the support of the people is carried out basically during what is known as the election campaign, that is, before the elections.

The invader tends to develop propaganda actions in the invaded territory with the objective that the population ignores the resistance, expressing that it arrives in order to free the people, to overthrow the tyrants, etc.
