"During the period of the Ancien Régime, in the 18th century, the royal standard of France became a plain white flag."
"During the Afghanistan civil war, the flag used by the Taliban was a plain white flag."
"During the Genpei War (1180–1185), the Minamoto clan fought under a white flag."
It seems as the Taliban used the plain white flag only during the two first years of its government (1996-97) while an Arabic text was written on the white flag in the period 1997-2001.
