All About Flags
When did flags first become a structure in history?
Flags have existed for millennia and can be traced back to the ancient societies of countries like China and India. In Europe specifically, flags began to take on a more nationalistic meaning somewhere between 500 and 1500 (the Middle Ages) and the Renaissance era (which followed the Middle Ages).
How are colors and symbolism chosen for flags?
Countries often choose colors and symbols with valuable themes that are significant to their nation. For example, the colors of the USA flag (red, white, and blue) stem from the colors of Great Britain’s flag (the nation the USA was a former colony of). Meanwhile, many Muslim countries (e.g. Turkey, Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc.) feature flags with a green, black, red, and/or white color palette, since these shades are important within Muslim culture.
Fun Flag Facts
- Red is the most common color found in flags all over the world.
- Besides the United States, United Kingdom, and France, 26 other countries feature a red, white, and blue color scheme.
- Purple is the least common color to spot on a flag. Currently, it’s only used in the flags of Nicaragua (in the tiny rainbow in the center) and Dominica (in the central bird).
- A horizontal 3-stripe layout is the most common layout used on global flags, followed by a vertical 3-stripe layout.
- The USA has undergone the most flag changes throughout the nation’s history (at a whopping 32). Runner-ups include Afghanistan with 24 changes and Venezuela with 17 changes.
