Myanmar came out of nowhere only to find itself on a path to oblivion. It has a storied past, rich and exalted, has survived battles that both scarred and informed its character, and today is building a future that will surely rival its past. The ethnic origins of modern Myanmar (known historically as Burma) are a mixture of Indo-Aryans, who began pushing into the area around 700 B.C. , and the Mongolian invaders under Kublai Khan who penetrated the region in the 13th century. Anawrahta (1044-1077) was the first great unifier of Myanmar.
Tracing the conflicts back to the 9th century, we find the Himalayan Bamar people, who comprise two-thirds of the population, at war with the Tibetan Plateau's Mon people. The fight went on for so long that by the time the Bamar came out on top, the two cultures had effectively merged.
The flag of Myanmar was recently adopted on October 21, 2010, in order to replace the socialist flag. The changes were made because of the constitution amended in 2008 including the name of the country.
The flag of Myanmar, formerly Burma, consists of a red background with a blue square in the top left corner. Inside the square is a white emblem. The emblem consists of a cog wheel and a paddy ear surrounded with 14, five-pointed stars.
In the 2006 constitutional convention, the design of the flag featured three evenly spaced horizontal stripes of green, yellow, and red respectively. On the top left corner, at the hoist side of the green stripe is a five-pointed white star. Later in 2007 this proposal was changed and the white star was moved to the center and became larger. The order of the colors was changed too into yellow, green, and red.
A five-pointed star is at the top center and "The Union of Myanmar" is written along the bottom of the seal. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Myanmar flag for the future.
