Big map of the Pacific, 1941

This map was issued in Italy on December 1941, 4 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It's a world map with Hawaii at it center (in which are omitted eastern Brazil, western Europe and western Africa) and showing a view of "The Japanese fleet, one of the strongest in the world". It also includes a message of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in which he celebrates the attack and speaking in fiery nationalistic rhetoric in support of the German-Japanese-Italian Tripartite and urging Italians to be worthy of the eventual victory.
