Behind every flag is a story to tell, this is especially very much applicable to flags of countries. Some of the flag of countries that you currently see today may not be the same flag as how it was initially made. It may have evolved through time because of certain significant event or situations that happened in the past. And it is interesting to know how and why the flag was designed as such. Every detail whether its colors or symbols have meanings is expressly shown on the flag. The flag we’ll focus about is the Czech Republic flag; how it begun, how it developed significantly and why it is the way it seen today among other important things.
The design is similar to the flag of Czechoslovakia, a past sovereign state in Central Europe. However when conflict arose amongst its people the state dissolved and got separated to turn into Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. In January 1, 1993, Czech and Slovak Republic officially separated. It is Czech Republic that kept the old flag and the Slovak Republic made its own.
The Czech Republic flag design originated in 1920 wherein the Czechoslovakia flag started simply in white horizontal stripe on top of the red stripe. These colors where obtained from the original coat of arms of Bohemia. However, the flag design is already identical to the flag of Poland and had the same color combination with the flag of Austria that is why the blue isosceles triangle was added. The flag was approved officially by the National Assembly of Czechoslovakia on the 20th of March 1920.
