This map was published by Taride, a Parisian publishing house, in 1938. The map shows all of France's possessions around the world, as well as the various maritime transport routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The map, which is clearly propaganda, is very reminiscent of the well-known map of the British Empire in 1886<\/a>. With the same intention, this publication seeks to raise awareness among French society of the greatness of the French Empire and how its dominion reaches every corner of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taride's illustration includes numerous details of some of the smaller and larger possessions, such as detailed maps of the Maghreb, French Guiana, Madagascar, Indochina and the islands of the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
