The French and British had no interest in negotiating a peace without victory or in granting what Wilson called self-determination to their own subject peoples. But they were keen to use the nationality issue as part of their propaganda campaign against their enemies. This map of 1917, published in Britain but based on prewar German sources, highlights the large number of subject peoples in the populations of the powers of the German alliance and their ethnic diversity. Imperial Germany itself was relatively homogeneous, with 92 percent of its population composed of ethnic Germans. Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were a different story, however. As shown in the tables in the upper-right hand corner of the map, the Austrian-ruled part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was only 35 percent German, while the Hungarian-ruled parts of the dual monarchy were only 48 percent Magyar. Ethnic Turks comprised only 35 percent of the population of the Ottoman Empire. Shading on the map is used to show the regions inhabited by the different peoples, which included Slavs of various nationalities, Romanians, Italians, and, in the Ottoman Empire, Arabs, Armenians, Kurds, and others. After World War I, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires were dissolved in accordance with the principle of national self-determination and replaced by smaller states. Germany became even more ethnically homogeneous, as it lost most of its territories inhabited by Poles, Alsatians, Danes, and other minority peoples.—Based on description found in World Digital Library.","Includes text, statistics of \"Total populations of the German alliance, censuses of 1910,\" and tables showing populations by nationality.","\"This map drawn from German sources (especially the All-Deutscher Atlas, edited by Paul Langhans, and published at Gotha, by Justus Perthes in 1905) shows the nationalities which are actually subject to Germany and her Allies.\"","Likely published 1917."]},{"label":"Coverage-Spatial","value":"Eurasia"},{"label":"Language","value":"English"},{"label":"Subject","value":["Propaganda, British","World War, 1914-1918","Nationalism","Population."]},{"label":"Genre","value":["Thematic maps","Maps"]},{"label":"Rights Description","value":"No Copyright - United States"},{"label":"Type","value":"Cartographic material"},{"label":"Repository","value":"Map Library"},{"label":"Local Bib ID","value":"99954726408305899"},{"label":"Collection Title","value":"World War I Maps"}],"description":"Available also through the Library of Congress website as a raster image.","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/1dcd0b00-b63b-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-d/full/!256,256/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/1dcd0b00-b63b-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-d","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"service":[{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/1dcd0b00-b63b-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-d","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}],"logo":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/assets/Illinois-Logo-Reversed-Orange-RGB-100-4dc138603db54952c91732afd189efd828ba543796a2ab0f9a81afcf2b308b27.png","related":{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/a5155f00-b639-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-8","format":"text/html"},"seeAlso":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/a5155f00-b639-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-8.json","format":"application/json"},{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/a5155f00-b639-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-8.atom","format":"application/atom+xml"}],"viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"individuals","navDate":"1917-01-01T06:00:00Z","license":"https://rightsstatements.org/page/NoC-US/1.0/","attribution":"No Copyright - United States","within":{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/collections/23c002f0-0b9b-0133-a7c7-0050569601ca-7/iiif","format":"application/json"},"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/a5155f00-b639-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-8/sequence/item","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Subject nationalities of the German alliance : from the Allies' peace terms as stated in their reply to President Wilson's note of 19th Dec. 1916","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/a5155f00-b639-013b-45f5-02d0d7bfd6e4-8/canvas/canvas1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Subject nationalities of the German alliance : from the Allies' peace terms as stated in their reply to President Wilson's note of 19th Dec. 1916","height":3096,"width":4000,"metadata":[{"label":"Title","value":"Subject nationalities of the German alliance : from the Allies' peace terms as stated in their reply to President Wilson's note of 19th Dec. 1916"},{"label":"Creator","value":"Edward Stanford Ltd."},{"label":"Scale","value":"Scale approximately 4,250,000"},{"label":"Place of Publication","value":"London (England)"},{"label":"Publisher","value":["Edward Stanford Ltd.","Dangerfield Printing Company"]},{"label":"Date of Publication","value":"1917"},{"label":"Extent","value":"1 map : color"},{"label":"Dimensions","value":"71 x 92 cm"},{"label":"Notes","value":["Available also through the Library of Congress website as a raster image.","A First World War persuasive map offering a vivid representation of the complexities, even contradictions, involved in achieving President Wilson’s aim of “the reorganization of Europe, guaranteed by a stable settlement, based alike upon the principle of nationalities…” In December 1916, Wilson put forward a plan to end World War I with a “peace without victory,” and Wilson asked the Allied and Central powers to state their terms for peace.
