This is a very rare and unusual Japanese portrayal of European military power by Fuchida Tadayoshi - illustrated to support Japanese interest in the increasingly tense situation in Europe, as well as to emphasize to the Japanese public the value of European alliances. It was published as a supplement to the January 1, 1936 (Showa 11), edition of King (キング) magazine. The map, along with the included insets, charts, and graphs, describes the military and economic situation in Europe at the time and the relationship of Japan to the emerging European conflict.
