Propaganda map

Propaganda maps are political maps of collapse and possibilities. In other words, they illustrate the possible or desired outcomes of wars and conflicts. For example, the propaganda map below illustrates what Europe would have possibly have looked like, had Germany won WWII:


However, not all propaganda maps center around wars. Propaganda maps can be any map geared at influencing the behaviors and opinions of large numbers of people in order to acheive a desired outcome. Their main purpose is to influence or suade their audience in a certain direction. The map above was probably used to help suade other Germans into the war effort, depicting a future of great power and wealth for all Germans alike.
When thinking of propaganda maps, the game of "Risk" pops into my mind, of conquering the lands of your opponent and expanding your empire across the board.
