Propaganda Maps!



This is an example of a propaganda map.  Propaganda maps are maps whose purpose is to influence and sway opinion on political matters.  Countries, newspapers, textbooks, etc can all use these maps to discredit enemies or boost their image.  The use of symbols to convey a political message is common.  The above map shows Korea poised as a tiger clawing at China.  This depiction can lead the viewer to see Korea as a threat to China, or perhaps an economic rival.
