French propaganda poster invoking the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man, a cornerstone of the French Revolution, as well as two famous liberators, Washington and Bolivar. The three maps show northeast France before 1870 the portion unlawfully occupied by German force since 1870 and additional land occupied since 1914, all "to be freed by force in service of right." Above the maps is the warning: "The eternal threat of Prussian militarism is the only obstacle to the freedom of men in the countries where they live." At the bottom of the poster is a reference to the "Plan Pangermaniste" - see Note for ID #1178 (Le Plan Pangermaniste).
It's interesting to compare this poster to ID #1204 (What France Has Stolen From Germany), which presents three maps illustrating the capture of German territory by the French - over the period 1547, 1786 and 1812!
