==History==
The phrase "public relations" was invented by [[Edward Bernays]] after the horrific atrocities committed in [[Nazi Germany]]. Bernays said: "''Propaganda'' got to be a bad word because of the Germans using it. So what I did was try to find some other words so we found the word "Council on Public Relations"."<ref name=self>[https://dotsub.com/view/9cfe48bd-cc34-4aac-8d12-1723727de8da/viewTranscript/eng The Century of the Self], Transcript, 08:00-08:30, [[BBC]]</ref>
Bernays was of the belief that "if you could use propaganda for war you could certainly use it for peace."<ref name=self />
