The map is titled “Demilitarized Germany,” the shaded areas are regions demilitarized under the Treaty of Versailles, this map can be used for the West to show that Germany can be trusted or it can be propaganda from the West to show its power and that Germany is close to being conquered.
The caption says: “With an insufficient military, Germany can be blockaded both by land and sea.” This map depicts that under the Allied blockade in World War I, Germany had suffered considerably, this map is a propaganda suggesting that this could happen again.
The black areas are industrial zones. The caption reads: “Germany’s industrial areas, unlike those of France, are defenseless in defortified or even demilitarized border zones.” Once again, another persuasive, propaganda map. Propaganda maps can also be political propaganda or advertisement or journalistic cartography.
