Why flags? “So strong is the tradition of flags, we may not be far from the truth in surmising that there is a law – not of nature, but of human society – which impels man to make and use flags. There is perhaps no more striking demonstration of this than the fact that, despite the absence of any international regulation or treaty requiring the adoption of a national flag, without exception every country has adopted at least one”. Dr Whitney Smith, 1975 What is vexillology? Raven flag Vexillum Heraldic Banner “Vexillum …” = Latin for Roman standard “… -ology” = Greek for ‘study of’ Totem VEXILLOLOGY = THE STUDY OF FLAGS Flag terminology Read a flag from left (hoist) to right (fly) Flag symbolism Every flag tells a story … Socialism; Islam; Sickness; Death; Peace; danger proceed caution anarchy surrender South African flags The Cape (1652-1795 and 1803-1806) Dutch East India Company (VOC) Jan van Riebeeck left no record of a flag hoisting but circumstantial evidence points to the orange, white and blue Princevlag being used South African flags Bataafsche Maagd Second British Occupation Batavian Republic (1806-1815) (1803-1806) South African flags Cape Colony (1815-1876) Boer Republics Voortrekkers Natalia OFS Cape of Good Hope (1876-1910) ZAR Klein Vrystaat Goshen Natal Colony (1870-1907) Swellendam Stellaland Potchefstroom Graaf-Reinet Lydenburg Utrecht Nieuwe Rep Griqualand South African flags 1899 (Start of 2nd Anglo-Boer War) Cape Colony O.F.S.

  • European Influences in Moldova Page 2
    Master Thesis Human Geography Name : Marieke van Seeters Specialization : Europe; Borders, Governance and Identities University : Radboud University, Nijmegen Supervisor : Dr. M.M.E.M. Rutten Date : March 2010, Nijmegen Marieke van Seeters European influences in Moldova Page 2 Summary The past decades the European continent faced several major changes. Geographical changes but also political, economical and social-cultural shifts. One of the most debated topics is the European Union and its impact on and outside the continent. This thesis is about the external influence of the EU, on one of the countries which borders the EU directly; Moldova. Before its independency from the Soviet Union in 1991, it never existed as a sovereign state. Moldova was one of the countries which were carved out of history by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact in 1940 as it became a Soviet State. The Soviet ideology was based on the creation of a separate Moldovan republic formed by an artificial Moldovan nation. Although the territory of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic was a former part of the Romanian province Bessarabia, the Soviets emphasized the unique and distinct culture of the Moldovans. To underline this uniqueness they changed the Moldovan writing from Latin to Cyrillic to make Moldovans more distinct from Romanians. When Moldova became independent in 1991, the country struggled with questions about its national identity, including its continued existence as a separate nation. In the 1990s some Moldovan politicians focussed on the option of reintegration in a Greater Romania. However this did not work out as expected, or at least hoped for, because the many years under Soviet rule and delinkage from Romania had changed Moldovan society deeply.

  • Romania Is a Tricolor with Vertical Stripes, Beginning from the Flagpole: Blue, Yellow and Red
    The national flag of Romania is a tricolor with vertical stripes, beginning from the flagpole: blue, yellow and red. Blue stands for the blue sky Yellow-the colour of the fields in summer Red-the blood of our heroes The flag is coincidentally very similar to the civil flag of Andorra and the state flag of Chad. Romania is a republic located in South- Eastern Europe, bordering the Black Sea between Bulgaria and Ukraine. It also borders Hungary, Serbia and Moldova. With its 19.94 million inhabitants, it is the seventh most populous member state of the European Union. Its capital and largest city, Bucharest, is the sixth largest city in the EU. The River Danube is Europe's second longest river after the Volga. Râmnicu Vâlcea is situated in the central- south area of Romania. Set at the foothills of the Southern Carpathians the city is located at about 12 kilometres from the Cozia Mountains and about 40 kilometres from the Făgăraş and Lotrului Mountains. The southern limit of Râmnicu Vâlcea is formed by the Getic Plateau and the Oltului Valley. What do most people know about Romania? Vlad Tepes ( the Impaler ) was a Romanian ruler from 1456 to 1462, the period of the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans. The practice of impaling his enemies is part of his historical reputation. During his lifetime, his reputation for excessive cruelty spread abroad. The name of the vampire Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula was inspired by Vlad's name and reputation. Ceaușescu created a personality cult, giving himself such titles as "Leader" and "The Genius of the Carpathians".
