Reply to comment by GetsGold in TIL that Haiti and Lichtenstein showed up to the 1936 Olympics with the exact same flag, which they had both been using for decades without knowledge of the similarity by Rickerpool
What treaty or convention says that two countries automatically unify by using the same flag?

Flag treaty?

That's simply not a thing.
GetsGold t1_j68pkay wrote
It should be!
Willem-Die-Zwijger t1_j68pvsh wrote
Why?
GetsGold t1_j68qbdp wrote
Cause people will think they're the same anyway.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but they changed their flags
And no, people didn't think Liechtenstein and Haiti are the same thing, and even if they did, that wouldn't make them the same thing

Yeah, so now people know they're different.
