When I was 3 yeara old, I remember drawing flags and Libya was always the easiest.  It is even easier to draw French flag of 1815 The hardest flags i ever drew were: British Canada Qing Dynasty Old Spanish Empire (Burgundy Cross) and others Here’s more simplified: I can draw flags with coat of arms/complicated logos but all i do is random scribbled lines or a simplified version of the coat of arms/coat of arms  |

The year was 1900, 'tis worth remembering The men who lived through 55 days at Peking T'was called the Boxers Insurrection of bloody oriental war Against all nations of the diplomatic core The flags of France and Britain How they fluttered in the breeze The Italian and the Russian and the flag of the Japanese Then came the sound of bugles And the rolling drums doom And the streets of Peking were as empty as a tomb The Empress of all China gave the signal to begin And let the foreign devils be driven from Peking They stormed the French Legation They attacked with shot and shell And they came in blood red blouses Screaming shashow as they fell The drums have long been muffled The bugles cease to ring But through the ages, you can hear them echoing In Japan, Tsar Nicholas II was slashed by a sword. The oldest commander in WW2 that was still alive was Carl Gustav Mannerheim (1867-1951) |

The background is Orange top, white center and blue bottom. I know why it’s Dutch because they settled there before/after the British settled in the Cape of Good Hope. (i gave you a new historical fact, in Bold) |

Italy was arguably the most pathetic power in WW2. Yes, and the USA was the most powerful country back then (1941-45) (with Germany being the most powerful by 1939-42) |

It wasn't only Germany that crippled Italian military, it was already weak (Italy was NOT a great power during and before first world war) and Austria-Hungary provided most of the manpower on that front. |
