Who has heard of the people's republic of Kampuchea by chance? I sure did not till recently. Located in the southeastern part of Asia, this country was ruled by the French in the mid-nineteenth century. Its inhabitants know this country as "Kampuchea," and the French name for this country was "Cambodge," anglicized as the more commonly known Cambodia. The country's flag has changed over time. The current flag is hoisted on Cambodian flag poles and has been in use since 1993. Size variations, including very big flags, are also hoisted on poles every so often.
During the years that Cambodia was Kampuchea, a red colored ensign was flown. This flag displayed a yellow colored symbol of a temple. The then present national ensign was the 5th national banner of nation. The featured symbol of the temple is said to represent the country's greatest national monument called "Angkor Wat." This national monument dates back to the 1200's, when it was part of a great magnificent city that brought and still brings pride to the region.
The red color has also appeared in all the big flags flown by Kampuchea of which we have records. The current design of the ensign displays three colors: blue, red and white. The temple is displayed in white on a red colored horizontal band. There are a total of three horizontal bands. The center red colored band has a blue band on both the top and bottom side.
The ensign that is hoisted on poles today is the same as the one that was hoisted on flagpoles back in '48, even though five different giant flags were used officially in between. Now, the so-called "Mahidharapura monarchs" constructed the featured temple. Even though it has been presented as having three towers at times in history, the temple really counted five towers, which means the current depiction is considered very much accurate.
International political alignments at the time allowed the then sitting government to maintain its diplomatic relations and its recognition by the U.N. as the official government of this beautiful country. There was a period of time during which two national flags were recognized, of which size variants included giant flags.
The national flag that was hoisted on Cambodian flag poles from 1979 through 1989 featured a similar design. This design differs from the flag of Democratic Kampuchea only in having a temple of five towers instead of three in the center. The same temple is represented on a red disk in the coat of arms of this respective southeastern Asian republic. I was especially fond of Cambodian giant flags that featured this incredible design.
