Propaganda Map

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2010/jan/26/british-library-map
This site had a great amount of maps showing propaganda. It is an exhibit in a British Library and the whole point of the exhibit is to demonstrate how maps have multiple uses. This map above is a Nazi representation of Churchill being a demonic octopus trying to take control of Africa and the Middle East.

Propaganda maps are used to manipulate opinions and create a visual that when you think of someone or something that is the first thing you think of.
