Final answer:

Queen Elizabeth used English privateers, visual imagery, and literature to spread her propaganda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Queen Elizabeth spread her propaganda in three main ways:

  1. English privateers: Elizabeth approved of English privateers, talented sea captains who were given permission to raid Spanish ships in the Caribbean. These privateers would plunder Spanish ships, taking significant amounts of wealth from Spain on a yearly basis.
  2. Visual imagery: Elizabeth used portraits and paintings to depict her power and the defeat of the Spanish Armada. For example, a portrait by George Gower shows Elizabeth with her hand on a globe, symbolizing her control over the world.
  3. Literature: Propaganda in the form of literature was used by both sides to promote their policies and ideologies. Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty broadcast news and information to countries within the Eastern Bloc, influencing public opinion and challenging Soviet propaganda.
