This is a beautiful 1943 or Showa 18 map of northern India issued by the Japanese during World War II. It covers all of northern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The map offers superb detail regarding topographic and political features and notes cities, roads, and trade routes on air, sea and land. Shading is used to display oceanic depths.
This map was issued before India gained independence from the British and hence, Pakistan is shown to be part of India. While India was in the midst of its struggle for freedom. The British Raj however, was still in control of the country, which led to India's participation in World War II.
This map was created by the Japanese during World War II and issued as part of a 20 map Series of Great East Asia Maps, detailing parts of Asia and the Pacific. All text is in Japanese.
