In 1914, with the outbreak of war, the Japanese laid siege to the German colony of Qingdao, aircraft from the army together with navy’s seaplane carrier Wakamiya conducted reconnaissance and bombing operations. As a result of their experiences of “victimization during World War II, many Japanese Americans began to understand that racism against them is allied to racism against black people,” says Okihiro. It would be nearly impossible to trace the entire legacy — both positive and negative impacts — that the East India Company had on the world. On December 1961, before a crowd of nearly 500 people in the East African town of Malindi, Kenyan leader Ronald Ngala lowered the flag of the Sultan of Zanzibar. The colonial flag had flown over districts that spotted a 10-mile stretch of the East African coast of the Indian Ocean.
During territorial disputes in 2009 at the African Great Lake of Lake Victoria, Ugandan soldiers raised the country’s flag over a patch of land within the lake called Migingo Island. The island is 112 miles from Uganda’s closest shoreline, while the scrap of land is only 9 miles from Kenya’s shores. What land is represented by this image? Another nation’s flag flew over its land. These colors flew in one Florida town. Colors of Hungary’s flags have almost consistently been red, white and green, symbolizing strength, fidelity and hope, respectively. It’s 1889. Missouri newspaper editor Chris Rutt and his friend Charles Underwood have created the world’s first pancake ready-mix, but they need a scheme to sell it. It was first hoisted in 1812 in which Latin American country? A large monument in the port city of Rosario is the location where Argentine crusader and nation founder Manuel Belgrano lifted the country’s sky-blue-and-gold flag for the first time in 1812. Belgrano died June 20, 1820 in Buenos Aires.
Do you know the nation whose flag has evolved through the years? China’s flag has evolved greatly, from displaying the yellow dragon of the Qing Dynasty to the red insignia of the Communist Party. Portugal changed its flag’s all-white background to that of red and green when the nation’s monarchy dissolved in the 20th century. It wasn’t until 1965 that Canada chose the iconic red maple leaf to symbolize the North American nation. This nation spent a lot of money to change its flag. Stars were added to the United States flag as states were admitted to the Union. The five stars on the country’s current flag represent China’s people. The thirteen stripes of the flag, nicknamed “The Stars and Stripes,” represent the original thirteen British colonies.

Try to select the perfect answer? Former New Zealand Prime Minister John Key invested $17 million to facilitate a design competition for and referendum on selecting a new nation flag. If he is being lined up for more screen time in Doctor Strange, Mordo would also work (he’s the jilted former student of Strange’s mentor, The Ancient One, and far more closely associated with Strange than Cap – which would make sense if it really is a bigger role in that film). Is the doctor that we did a story about last night – who was, by all accounts, an apolitical man who was helping people in his community – was he Hamas? Today, I hope people around the globe are given the same opportunity. A numeric code completes the specific designation for a given ship.
