What is japanese flag ww2?

During World War II, Japan used a red circle on a white background as its national flag. This flag, known as the Rising Sun Flag or Kyokujitsu-ki, dates back to the 7th century and is considered a symbol of the Japanese emperor. It was used as the official flag of the Japanese military and navy during World War II.

The flag has been associated with Japan's militaristic and imperialistic past, particularly during World War II when Japan embarked on a campaign of territorial expansion and aggression in Asia and the Pacific. The flag was often flown alongside the flag of the Imperial Japanese Army or Navy and became a symbol of Japanese nationalism and militarism.

Today, the Rising Sun Flag remains a controversial symbol, especially in countries that were occupied or attacked by Japan during World War II. Many see it as a symbol of Japan's imperialistic past and war crimes committed during the conflict. As a result, the flag is banned in certain countries, and its use is restricted in others.
