A propaganda map is a type of map that is utilized to manipulate people into think specific, and usually untrue things about a certain place. A propaganda map is often used by the government to lead people away from actually knowing definite facts, to believing false, stereotyped characteristics of a country. For example, this is a map that shows how Ronald Regan "views the world", when in reality this is just what he might have stereotyped the places to be. It shows the socialists, communists, and our oil as taking place of the actual USSR, Europe, and parts of Africa.
