Cambodia Flag
The history of Cambodia flag is not very old but the history of the Cambodia country is very old. The one of the most ancient monarchies of the world is Cambodia. Before 1947, in Cambodia there was a democratic constitutional government of King Norodom Sihanouk Varman. This time was remembered as the year of proliferation of independent constitution. At that time Cambodia was not an independent country. The flag of Cambodia used in that time contains three colors white, blue and red. But at that time, there was not any symbol used on the Cambodian flag. The current Cambodian flag also contains white, blue and red color but the placement or arrangement of color in the old flag of Cambodia was different as compare to the current flag of Cambodia. The arrangement of color on the old flag Cambodia was: there were no horizontal strips on the flag Cambodia. The Cambodia flag outline or surrounding was made up of blue color which depicted the royalty of the Cambodia, the red color on the Cambodian flag depicted the nation of Cambodia and the white color on the Cambodia flags depicted the religion.
