World War I propaganda map hyperbolically decrying Germany's global and colonial ambitions should the Central Powers win the war. A box of carefully selected and excerpted quotes from German politicians, scholars, military leaders in the upper-right corner of the map attempts to justify the map's suggestion that almost 1/3 of the world could come under German Dominion.
This example was published to accompany the magazine of the Over-Seas Club, now known as the Royal Over-Seas League. Smaller versions were also published for the public to hang in their homes and for distribution as recruitment posters, and an American edition was published in 1917 by the National Security League of New York to encourage American involvement in WWI. Though not as decorative as some of the propaganda maps of the period, this map's simplicity made it an extremely effective propaganda weapon in the fight to make Germany the aggressor and most dangerous enemy of the war.
