Propaganda map

Propaganda maps are exactly what the name implies. When putting together a propaganda map the cartographer can distort or exaggerate certain geographical and political areas to give the reader a distorted view of the concept. A big proponent of propaganda maps were the Nazis during WW2, in which they would make Germany appear larger and more expansive in comparison with surrounding countries in order to give the appearance that Germanys physical borders were much larger and further reaching than perhaps its actual political sphere of influence.
