At the close of First World War, propaganda mapping played a crucial role in the creation of a consensus about German national territory. Under the Map of Germany provides a detailed analysis of the history and techniques of mapping in inter-war Germany. Using extensive archival documentation–including many previously undiscovered maps–to chart the development of alternative concepts of national territory brought about during the Weimar Republic, the author reveals how an effective propaganda mapping network had been established and a consensus reached about the extent of the Greater German nation before the rise of Nazism. Challenging the belief that national self-determination is a just cause, Under the Map of Germany reveals that national territories are not tangible entities that can be clearly delimited, but are artificial constructs open to a wide range of interpretations.
