Within the new department, Toynbee acted as the expert for the Ottoman Empire, due to his work on the Armenian Genocide. Besides propaganda aims, the PID indeed engaged in intelligence activity, so the main task of its members was to draw up memoranda related to the political situation of certain countries. Although it lasted just two years, the PID was an extremely interesting experiment in recruiting professional historians as political advisers. The PID was coordinated by Sir William Tyrrell (1866-1947) and James Headlam-Morley (1863-1929). Toynbee continued to be fully involved in propaganda activity, which, from 1916, was progressively integrated into the Foreign Office and, in 1918, formalized as the Political Intelligence Department (PID). As the person responsible for propaganda operations aimed at the United States of America, in the autumn of 1915 Toynbee was invited by Lord James Bryce (1838-1922) to address the British Parliamentary Blue Book on the Armenian Genocide. In May 1915, he was recruited by the recently instituted British propaganda agency, known as Wellington House. A member of the London upper class, Toynbee attended the prestigious Balliol College, Oxford, where, in 1912, he became a tutor in ancient history.
Nevertheless, for a great part of his long life he also worked as a specialist on international affairs, work he began during the First World War.
