PROPAGANDA MAP

I added another propaganda map because the one I posted early in the term is included in the slides for week 11. This one may just be a humorous response to another map which shows the southwestern states combined with Mexico to create the “new country” of Aztlan. It clearly defines and highlights Mexico (yours) and its borders while a message is boldly printed across most of the US (not yours). Most viewers would certainly get the point of this map and many would probably take offense.

PROPAGANDA MAP

Propaganda maps seem very popular during times of war to influence the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. This is a propaganda map dating from just before World War II, created by the Nazi-German side. It shows Czechoslovak bomber planes covering all of Germany. The article indicates that they were trying to convince the German public that the Czechoslovak side was responsible for the ‘threat’.

Note: I posted this map in June before the slides for week 11 were available. I later realized it was in them so I have added a different propaganda map at the end.
