Asian Ensigns And Flag Poles For Sale
The world is ever dynamic. Countries change because of people. One such country is Cambodia, who once was called “Kampuchea.” This republic was short-lived and was actually ruled by France in the 1800’s. Like the world, countries and people, respective national flags change as well. Cambodia’s national ensign has seen change to its respective flag design. The current flag is relatively young and hoisted on Cambodian flag poles of all kinds, including the residential kind and commercial flag poles.
French political parties substantially influenced the Khmer Rouge. In fact, rouge is French for red. Also, Marx and Lenin were of great influence to this communistic organization. The Khmer were convinced of their racial superiority, which resulted in their drive to create a pure society. During the Khmer rule, cities and towns were emptied and markets were done away with. Unfortunately, genocide led to the annihilation of nearly twenty percent of the country’s inhabitants!
Like other countries, the use of the red color has powerful meaning. The red colored used on the different flag-designs has remained and is said to symbolize blood and revolution. The Angkor Wat represents the unity of the people of Cambodia, which includes the soldiers and workers of the country. Today, Cambodia counts nearly 15 million inhabitants.
Following the rule of communist forces known as the “Khmer Rouge,” and back in 1979, Democratic Kampuchea was conquered by another group of Cambodian Communists, backed by the army of Vietnam. The people’s republic of Kampuchea was officially proclaimed and a new flag was hoisted on small and tall flag poles throughout the land. It differs from the red colored flag only in having a temple of five towers instead of three in the center.
Today this country is a kingdom and hence officially called the “Kingdom of Cambodia.” The kingdom’s leader is also the head of government. Hun Sen has been the longest serving leader in this part of the world. He has been Cambodia’s leader for some twenty five years.
Asian banners, ensigns and flags commonly use the red color for flag design elements, including fields. In fact, back in 1999, research proved that nearly 75 percent of all world flags contained the red color. This is an increasing trend. Asian ensigns display incredibly from Asian flag poles, even in the slightest wind breeze.
