Propaganda Maps are used to shape how people interact and conceptualize the world, and were used historically to depict political views. For instance, this Propaganda map made by the Japanese just before the 1905 Russo-Japanese war illustrates the negative views on Russia, as it entitled "the Black Octopus," and clearly shows this Octopus' arm resting upon the territories that they both wanted to claim- Manchuria and Korea.
