How does this projection affect how countries across the world appear? How fair do you think it is? Why? 0/ 10000 Word Limit Gall-Peters Projection The biggest criticism for the Mercator projection came in 1973 from German filmmaker and journalist Arno Peters. Peters argued that by enlarging Europe and North America, Mercator maps were giving white nations a sense of supremacy over non-white nations, His solution? An equal-area projection that would show the correct sizes of countries relative to each other. Not that the Gall-Peters projection came without any flaws. In trying to remove size distortions, the map stretched some places near the poles horizontally to a shocking degree. It also stretched land masses vertically near the Equator. So, if the map looks really odd to you, it's because the shapes and angles are all wrong - exactly the reason why we don't see this map online much. Pros: The only area-correct' map of its time; got featured in The West Wing (S2E16) Cons: Galled (irritated) the map making community in the 1980s
