This is a poster advertising war bonds during world war i. who was the target audience for this poster? children american soldiers civilians german soldiers

I assume this is the poster you are talking about. The correct answer is Civilians. During WWI, several countries designed posters to encourage the general public to invest in government Victory Bonds. This was to give monetary aid to fund the war. Governments in both sides of the conflict reached out to the civilians in this way to solicit their support.

This particular poster contributed to the raising of $419 million in just two weeks. The girl is Miss Faith Berry, of Toronto. She posed for the picture and received a $500 bond as a way of thanking her for her contribution to the war effort.
