Bandeiras da Ásia e da África em 1600

Sobre estas bandeiras

Os estados de por volta de 1600, com o Império Espanhol no auge, e a bandeira ou o estandarte que usavam. Quase nenhum estado tinha então bandeira nacional: muitas são estandartes reais ou bandeiras de guerra. Os que não têm bandeira documentada (a Etiópia, por exemplo) ficam de fora. Algumas são aproximadas:

• Sultanato Saadiano de Marrocos: War flag of the Marinid and Saadi dynasties (gold star on red); a white banner is also reported.
• Império de Kanem-Bornu: A flag attributed to the empire from travellers' accounts; it may not match 1600.
• Império Safávida: The lion and sun on green, one of the Safavid flags; there were several versions.
• Império Mogol: The alam, the imperial standard; the empire had no national flag.
• China Ming: 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.
• Japão: The Tokugawa crest: they won Sekigahara in 1600 and founded the shogunate in 1603.
• Joseon (Coreia): The king's standard; Joseon had no national flag until 1883.
• Reino de 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.
• Sultanato de Achém: The sword and crescent on red, documented later; probably close to that of 1600.
