Historical Contentious Canton Flags of Burma and Formosa


 During much of the cold war these nations were pulled and pressed by outside and internal forces.  They are very much apart of the Far East, charged with strong undertow of Buddhism.  However the colonial powers that were made them their home.  

During the age of European Colonial Empires, Portugal, Spain, England, and the Netherlands would have their way.  Eventually, in the wake of anti-European sentiment, the Japanese invaded and were for time able to control the fate of these fateful territories. 

After the fall of the Empire of the Sun, turmoil was sort its ways across the colonies.  Burma would get a name change, likewise several flags have come to pass to represent Taiwan, a nation of more than six flags. 

Likewise the gravity of China can be felt between the two an opposite polarities.
