"Anticolonialist forces known as the Pathet Lao began an armed struggle in August 1950 against the royal government. Their flag bore a white disk on a background of red-blue-red stripes. That disk honoured the Japanese (see flag of Japan), who had promoted the Lao independence movement in World War II, but it also symbolized a bright future for the country. Red was said to stand for the blood of those seeking freedom and independence, and blue stood for the promise of future prosperity. The Pathet Lao were successful in overcoming American-supported forces, and on December 2, 1975, when the monarch was deposed, the Pathet Lao party flag was adopted to replace the traditional Lao banner."
