- Notes:
- A propaganda leaflet in Vietnamese produced by the U.S. or South Vietnam military, intended to convince the enemy that "The Whole World Is On Our Side." The legend below the map translates: "Thirty-one nations are helping the people of South Vietnam fight the communists to save the country." By using a black, disproportionately large symbol for these 31 countries, the mapmaker has magnified the apparent support. The caption on the verso translates simply: "We Intend To Win," followed by a list of the 31 countries, and at the bottom: "With the consensus support of all the world's peace-loving people, we intend to win, certain defeat for the Cong."
For the opposite view, see ID #2244, the NLF Victory Map, showing 27 communist nations that "have taken sides with" the National Liberation Front against the U.S. and South Vietnam.
The date is estimated.
