Flaggen Asiens und Afrikas 1600

Über diese Flaggen

Die Staaten um 1600, das Spanische Weltreich auf seinem Höhepunkt, mit ihrer Flagge oder ihrem Banner. Kaum ein Staat hatte damals eine Nationalflagge: Viele sind königliche Standarten oder Kriegsflaggen. Staaten ohne belegte Flagge (etwa Äthiopien) fehlen. Einige sind Näherungen:

• Spanische Monarchie: The Cross of Burgundy, flag of the tercios and the fleet of the empire; there was no national flag like today's.
• Zarentum Russland: Ivan the Terrible's banner of the Saviour (Kazan campaign, 1552), from his Illustrated Chronicle: the tsardom flew religious and military banners, with no single flag.
• Osmanisches Reich: One of the Ottoman flags of the 16th to 18th centuries; several were used.
• Saadier-Sultanat Marokko: War flag of the Marinid and Saadi dynasties (gold star on red); a white banner is also reported.
• Kanem-Bornu-Reich: A flag attributed to the empire from travellers' accounts; it may not match 1600.
• Safawidenreich: The lion and sun on green, one of the Safavid flags; there were several versions.
• Mogulreich: The alam, the imperial standard; the empire had no national flag.
• Ming-China: A modern design with the character 明 (Ming): the dynasty had no national flag, and Commons marks it as fictitious. It is included so that China has its place on the map.
• Japan: The Tokugawa crest: they won Sekigahara in 1600 and founded the shogunate in 1603.
• Joseon (Korea): The king's standard; Joseon had no national flag until 1883.
• Königreich Ayutthaya: The plain red of Siamese ships, the most described one; there is no official flag of the time.
• Đại Việt: A standard attributed to the Later Lê dynasty; sources are scarce.
• Sultanat Aceh: The sword and crescent on red, documented later; probably close to that of 1600.
