The region now constituting Belarus was colonized by East Slavic tribes from the 5th to the 8th cent. It fell (9th cent.) under the sway of Kievan Rus and was later (12th cent.) subdivided into several Belarusian principalities forming part of the Kievan state. Kiev's destruction by the Mongols in the 13th cent. facilitated the conquest (early 14th cent.) of Belarus by the dukes of Lithuania. The region became part of the grand duchy of Lithuania, which in 1569 was merged with Poland.
Belarus became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which merged with Poland in 1569. Following the partitions of Poland in 1772, 1793, and 1795, in which Poland was divided among Russia, Prussia, and Austria, Belarus became part of the Russian empire.
Much of Belarus (formerly the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic of the USSR, and then Byelorussia) is a hilly lowland with forests, swamps, and numerous rivers and lakes. There are wide rivers emptying into the Baltic and Black seas. Its forests cover over one-third of the land and its peat marshes are a valuable natural resource. The largest lake is Narach, 31 sq mi (79.6 sq km).
The national flag of Belarus is a red and green flag with a white and red ornament pattern placed at the flagpole end. The current design was introduced in 2012 by the State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus and is adapted from a design approved in a referendum in May 1995.
In 1939, the Soviet Union took back West Belarus from Poland under the secret protocol of the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact and incorporated it into the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. Occupied by the Nazis in World War II, Belarus was one of the war's most devastated battlefields.
The State Flag of the Republic of Belarus is a rectangular canvas made of two flat shaded stripes. The upper one is red and makes up 66% of the width while the lower one is green and as extensive as 33% of the banner width. A vertical red-on-white Belarusian national banner as substantial as one-ninth of the banner length is situated close to the flagpole. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
