Introduction to National Flags
National flags are powerful symbols that represent a country’s identity, history, and values. They are used to signify sovereignty and unity, and they appear in important settings such as government buildings, international events, public ceremonies, and times of national celebration or mourning.
Most national flags are made up of specific colors, patterns, and symbols, each chosen for a reason. Colors may reflect natural features, political movements, religious beliefs, or historical struggles. Symbols—such as stars, crosses, stripes, or coats of arms—often represent ideals like freedom, unity, faith, or independence.
The design of a national flag is usually rooted in a country’s past. Many flags were adopted during moments of major change, such as independence, revolution, or the formation of a new state. Over time, these flags become deeply meaningful to citizens and are treated with respect, often protected by laws and traditions.
Across the world, flags serve not only as markers of nationality but also as visual stories—telling us where a nation has come from, what it values, and how it sees itself among other nations.
