This is a propaganda map of Europe during WWI in 1914. Propaganda maps are designed to influence the targeted audiences opinions, beliefs, and emotions. They are also used to persuade. This map represents each country as what they were seen as during the Great War. Germany was depicted as a massive military machine with weapons aimed outwards to all surrounding countries; Russia is a huge, rotting imperialist bear; Italy is a clutch of snakes with intents on the Central powers; and Serbia's imagery as a skeleton is an indicator of the huge amounts of civilian deaths and suffering.
