Hitler appears as an angry sun projecting rays towards Togoland, the Cameroons, former German South-West Africa and German East Africa, while Mussolini absorbs Ethiopia and a weakened League of Nations looks on. Richard and Peggy Yardley combine political cartooning with cartography to expose Germany’s campaign for the return of its pre-1914 colonies. The map is a scarce, visually memorable document of American opposition to fascism before the Second World War, although its representation of African peoples also employs period racial caricatures that require historical context.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53776275145051,"sku":"P-7-028435","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028435a.jpg?v=1786635314","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/africa-hitler-s-lost-colonies-imperial-ambitions-yardley-satirical-map-1938-p-7-028435","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
