American vs German World War I maps

Being that tomorrow's class is November 11th, WWI Armistice Day, I found two maps appropriate for that occasion. These two maps show how color can-be/is used in map-making.

Each map presents the same information, the alliances in Europe during World War One. The only difference is the choice of color-- Each nationality/language shows their own side in green and the other side in red.

(WWI was probably the stupidest, most pointless war ever fought in Europe, so if I were to make the map I'd put every belligerent in whatever color best signifies stupidity and green for countries smart enough to stay neutral.)
