Fascinating World War I Propaganda Map

"Wiedergutmachung von Unrecht?",

This fascinating German propaganda map attempts to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the Entente alliance. The poster focuses on a quote by David Lloyd George, a British Liberal politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War I, who on January 5, 1918 said, "Compensation for injustice is the fundamental condition for a lasting peace." A box next to the quote indicates that Lloyd George's own policy should demand the surrender of all annexed territories by the Entente alliance, here shown as England, France, the United States and Italy. The annexed regions in Europe, Africa and Asia are depicted on the map with a corresponding colored key. Although the Entente alliance demanded Germany to pay reparations for its role in causing World War I and for its imperialistic foreign policy, the Entente did not see its own imperialistic tendencies as reprehensible.
