'What Germany Wants'
Published in 1917, this uncompromising British propaganda map depicts an alleged Pan-German plan for worldwide expansion. Vast areas are coloured red: Scandinavia and the Baltic, the Low Countries, parts of France and Central Europe, the Balkans and Ottoman lands, extensive African territories, much of South America, the Dutch East Indies, New Guinea and a region of China. Three panels of quotations, attributed to German generals, politicians, colonial advocates and Pan-German writers, are deployed as apparent evidence. They call for the absorption of Holland, Denmark and the Scandinavian peoples, a German-controlled Central Europe, a route to the Persian Gulf, colonial expansion in Africa, and influence across South America and Asia. The map’s persuasive method is powerful: selected words are converted into a vivid red image of a Germany seeking global domination.
