1903-What flags were in use?

[Rita Poon]

I'm putting together a flag pack for El Justo's Age of Imperialism scenario. Doggone Europeans seem to enjoy changing flags every year, so I'm sure I'm using a few wrong flags. Feel free to let me know which are wrong & point me to a beter flag. Thanks in advance!

Row 1:
Abysinia
Argentina
Austria-Hungary
Bolivia
Brazil
British
Central America
Chile

Row 2:
China
Columbia
Dominican Rep
Ecuador
France
Germany
Greece
Haiti

Row 3:
Italy
Japan
Lowland Countries
Mexico
Ottomons
Paraguay
Persia
Peru

Row 4:
Portugal
Russia
USA
Scandinavia
Siam
Spain
Tibet
Venezuala

Oh yeah, obviously there is no Scandinavian/Lowland/Central American flag. Using the BeNeLux flag for the Lowlands.

Probably not such a good idea because BeNeLux didn't exist in 1903.

I think that the only difference between the 1903 Brazilian flag and the current one is that the 1903 flag has 21 stars and the current one has 27..

the stars being representative of the states and the capital district.

Take a look on www.flagspot.net.

If you want the arms, http://www.heraldique-europeenne.org/

The problem is that European states didn't change flag, they changed regime.

Bad Link, Ruffie

Corrected

France's Flag was the same as is is now.

Talking of flags (and I know this ain't the topic) has anyone got a link to an animated Imperial Japanese War Flag (the one with the sun rays?)

I think the flag of Austria-Hungary was the black-yellow one.

The Argentine flag of 1903 is on here: (the sun should be in the center) http://www.angelfire.com/realm/jolle/argentina/argentina1862-1944.htm

The Black and Yellow flag wasn't used by Austria-Hungary as the mainstay flag, although it was preferred. The official flag from 1867-1915 was this:

Great, thanks Mobilize!

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Don't worry... the Argentine flag won't be in the game all that long anyway...

[El Justo]

keep going mr. poon. maybe i can iron out the remaining bugs by the time you finish your flags.

I hope I don't say this too late, but this flag was the official flag until 1905. I don't know which country that had that flag you have previewed.

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

for Italy, there is already made by me, search in one of the Spincrus flag leaderhead thread. And for Germany, where is the cross?

 

[Rita Poon]

@Luddi: Flag shown is supposedly the old flag of the Kalmar Union. Think it was also used by the Scandinavism movement. I know its still used by white supremacists. But if you don't like it, no problem. I can re-do the flag.

But isn't that the Norwegian flag?

According to the link above, there was a Swedish & a Norwegian version. So which do I use? What would TLC & mrtn suggest?
