English: THE PRUSSIAN OCTOPUS. ‘We do not threaten small nations,’ declared the German Chancellor on December 10th, 1915; ‘we do not wage war which has been forced upon us in order to subjugate foreign peoples, but for the protection of our life and freedom.’ This pictorial map is a commentary on his words. It shows how Prussia has stolen one province after another from her neighbours and, like a baleful octopus, is still stretching out her tentacles to grasp further acquisitions.
Svenska: DEN PREUSSISKE BLÄCKFISKEN.
'Vi hota icke de små nationerna,' förklarade tyske rikskanslern den 10 december 1915; ' vi föra icke det krig, som tvingats på oss, för att underkuva främmande folk, utan for att skydda vårt liv och vår frihet.' Bildkartan är illustration av hans ord. Den visar hur Preussen har stulit den ena provinsen efter andra från sina granner och likt en olycksbringande bläckfisk fortfarande sträcker ut sina tentakler för att rycka till sig nya förvärv. De områden som tillhörde det ursprungliga konungariket Preussen äro betecknade [hatched lines]. De områden, som det sedan tillägnat sig genom underhandlingar, våld eller list, äro betecknade [diagonal lines].
