Inaccurate. Kitchener organised the first serious news control in the
Sudan and the Boer Wars, and there had been news management as far back
as the Crimea.

In the second world war, certainly. In the first lot, by the time the
US came in, we'd confined the German fleet to its home ports (battle of
Jutland), held the germans to their lines for the best part of three
years, and had them on the cusp of the three months of continuous German
retreat that brought about the 1918 armistice. Total US involvement in
World War I was somewhere less than 100,000 (ie., about a week's
casualties for the British and French during an offensive). All the US
forces in WWI did was balance up the Russian capitulation.
