the historical flags of the british empire and the overseas territories refers to the various flags that were used across the various dominions, crown colonies, protectorates, territories which made up the british empire and current overseas territories. early flags that were used across the empire (in particular the then thirteen colonies which would later become the united states of america) tended to variations of the red and blue ensigns of great britain with no colonial badges or coat of arms attached to them. in the first half of the 19th century, the first colonies started to acquire their own colony badges, but it was not until the 1860s when legislation was passed by the uk parliament that the colonies were encouraged to apply for their own emblems.
