'Keep Calm and Carry On': The History Behind the Famous Slogan


You have probably more than once seen the posters printed with the slogan "Keep Calm and Carry On" and/or variations of it.


I had no idea of the slogan's history, but it turns out it origins from the Second World War to instill peace in the British people and was re-discovered in 2000 when one of these propaganda war posters was found in a box by secondhand bookshop Barter Books.
