The postcard has been part of our daily life until recently. This strong presence, added to its visual and textual character, has placed it in a remarkable position as a witness of a great number of aspects that have taken place in the last 150 years of our history. Within its many fields of influence, the connection it has demonstrated with the world of war is much closer than has traditionally been attributed to it. Its release during the franco-prussian war or the high levels of production during the Great War, coinciding with its golden age, show a strong link which has not received the attention it needs. In order to determine to what extent war may have influenced the evolution of these small cards, a study is presented which focuses on the production and distribution of these media in different armed confrontations between the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, from the Franco-Prussian War to the Second World War.
