In this map example, a univariate choropleth map is used to convey how the Nazi party, or the NSDAP, had a large power of persuasion and even believability about them and didn't simply "bully" people into their views. This choropleth map is important because it is able to take the percent of voters for the NSDAP and put them into ranges on a map so that the average person could see how much power the Nazi party actually had over Germany, due to the fact that there was a good amount of support for them.
