Our history is full of great battles. They were fought over land, riches, and sometimes over love. These battles are the reasons why we are the way that we are now. They formed the very essence of our society and the territories that we now define as parts of ourselves. These battles defined our nations.

Whenever an army conquered a piece of land, they raised their world flag in the most important place within that piece of land. These places included the town centers, and the military centers. These were important to those communities because these were places that were visited by the rulers. During these times, it could be assumed that they were the landed aristocracy. Control over these territories basically meant control over the region itself. After they raised their flag over these areas, they assigned governors or dukes or whatever title the ruling class carried with them.

Whenever they raised a flag over a region, they didn't do it just because they treat it like a trophy. They raised their world flags because it was a sign of control. The place itself may convey an air of power. However, the people living around the area also have to be controlled. Therefore, the raising of the flag actually became a political move that told people about who the next rulers were. Simply showing the flag was a sign of the military might of the conqueror and therefore showed the people what would happen if they refused to submit.
