Great Britain but more directly King Gorge the III
Explanation:
Atrocity propaganda, which aimed to mobilise hatred of the German enemy by spreading details of their atrocities, real or alleged, was used extensively by Britain during the war and reached its peak in 1915, with much of the atrocities related to Germany's invasion of Belgium.
Well, a simile can include "like" or "as," so you could say, "The Continental Army's victory in the American Revolution was as powerful as a bolt of lightning." Unless you have to use "like," then it could be, "The Continental Army's victory in the American Revolution was like a power-punch to their enemies."
Hope this helps!
Fewer civil rights, hope it helps
