State of Burma, 1943

State of Burma, 1943

On 1 August 1943 the State of Burma was declared by the Japanese, in name an independent country but in reality a Japanese puppet state. Its Head of State was Ba Maw. The flag, adopted on 1 August 1943, was a yellow-green-red triband with a peacock on a white (or according to some sources, red) disk. The colour yellow stood for the Buddhist faith, green for agriculture and red for bravery. Variants of this flag, with the peacock on a red disk, have also been reported. The flag was abolished on 1 August 1945.
