Propaganda Map- a map that shows biased or misleading information as a means of promoting or publicizing a particular political cause or point of view.
A propaganda map is used, like any other type of propaganda, to sway public opinion with misleading, biased, or falsifies information. Propaganda maps seem to be especially popular during wartime periods as a means of inspiring patriotism, anger, and fear. This map is a Japanese map from the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The Japanese are shown as anguished victims, and Russia is shown as an octopus reaching its tentacles across all of Europe and Asia. The aim of this map would have been to remind the Japanese of their positions as victims and encourage them to fight back.
