Flags As The Symbols Of A Country Or A State Unity

By Gary Ford


The origins of present-day Austria can be traced back to prehistoric times. The Danube River valley was populated as long ago as the Paleolithic Age (50,000 B.C.E. â€"8000 B.C.E. ). Austria was inhabited by Celtic peoples from prehistory until it fell under Roman control in the first century B.C.E.

The red and white colors in this flag are taken from a legend in which the Duke Leopold V of Austria was blood-soaked from the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, and only a strip of white remained under his sword belt. He then chose these colors and pattern for his flag.

The red and white hues in this banner are taken from a legend in which the Duke Leopold V of Austria was blood-splashed from the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, and just a piece of white stayed on his sword waistband. He then picked these hues for his banner. The Austrian flag is one of the oldest national flags in the world. It dates from 1191 when Duke Leopold V fought in the Battle of Acre during the Third Crusade.

Red is an effective colour and everybody realizes this shading has a considerable measure. It could mean affection, amazingness, war, liberality or even ailment. The red was used as a symbol of the power of Austria. This characteristic mix to have courage. When a state is known as to have valor, it has a toughness to have a sense of heroism. Settled in prehistoric times, the central European land that is now Austria was overrun in pre-Roman times by various tribes, including the Celts.

However, this is not the end of the story. Like most European countries, Austria looks back on a very eventful history. Yet there are some elements of the Austrian character that haven’t changed much over the centuries: the partiality for indulgence, beauty, and cultivation has always been a driving force in the country’s past and present...

Then again, this is not the end of the story. We are so used to seeing our flags everywhere, that we hardly notice them. But do you know the real meaning behind your national flag? This is the freedom of country and nation.
