Vichy French anti-British propaganda poster, 1940-1944. The map shows locations and dates of incidents perceived as having been provoked by the British at the expense of France and territories taken from the French by the British Empire. The last two dates refer to the incidents at Mers-el-Kebir, Algeria and Dakar, Senegal where the Royal Navy attacked elements of the French fleet to stop them falling into German hands after the Vichy regime assumed power in France.
