Propaganda Map


This is a Propaganda Map.  This might be one of my favorite maps for this project (although, it is hard to choose a favorite because I tried to choose images that personally appealed to me, so there are a number of favorites here.)  Propaganda maps were most prominent in the World Wars.  Propaganda is a "persuasive" technique in which the creator uses distortion to convince the viewer to agree with him.  The detail of this map is quite intriguing--the use of "people" to represent the different countries.
