A Propaganda map portrays the world not as it really is, but instead by the perceptions of the cartographer.  Many of the maps can be comical, satirical, or humorous while also expressing negative and belligerent views about other countries.  These maps grew in popularity during the World War I era.  The map above is a English propaganda map that was created in 1914 and it depicts several different stereotypes.
