Notes:
This map is from a War Atlas published by the Philadelphia Inquirer weeks after Pearl Harbor, reflecting and supporting the mood of the country. The territory colored blue ("Anti-Axis Countries and Controlled Land") overwhelms the pink "Axis-Occupied and Controlled Countries." The caption asserts that the "United States - Arsenal of Democracy - is shipping the sinews of war, planes, guns, tanks and shells to the fighting democracies in every section of the world, across all the Seven Seas." In fact, it would be some time before the U.S. built up the domestic industrial production, as well as the anti-submarine warfare capability, to provide the "sinews of war" needed by the allies around the world.
