Czech Flag History And The Flag Company Inc

By Frank Bobs


The Czech Republic's central European landscape is dominated by the Bohemian Massif, which rises to heights of 3,000 ft (900 m) above sea level. This ring of mountains encircles a large elevated basin, the Bohemian Plateau. Probably about the 5th century A.D. , Slavic tribes from the Vistula basin settled in the region of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia. The Czechs founded the kingdom of Bohemia and the Premyslide dynasty, which ruled Bohemia and Moravia from the 10th to the 16th century.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Bohemia was still part of the Habsburg Empire (Austrian Empire). After World War I the republic of Czechoslovakia declared its independence in 1918. The new republic had three parts: Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. The popular Tomas Garigue Masaryk became the first president.

The return of democratic political reform saw a strong Slovak nationalist movement emerge by the end of 1991, which sought independence for Slovakia. When the general elections of June 1992 failed to resolve the continuing coexistence of the two republics within the federation, Czech and Slovak political leaders agreed to separate their states into two fully independent nations. On Jan. 1, 1993, the Czechoslovakian federation was dissolved and two separate independent countries were establishedâ€"the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

After the disintegration of Czechoslovakia into two separate expresses on January 1, 1993, the two states embraced their own banners. The Czech Republic held the banner of the previous Czechoslovakia while Slovakia received their own banner with the same hues and the coat of arms. The banner of the Czech Republic was a bicolor of red and white looking somewhat like the Polish banner. To keep away from perplexity, a blue triangle was added to the banner in 1920. From that point forward, this form of the banner has been being used.

The Czech Republic banner is made of two equivalent flat groups of red and white. On the left side of the banner is a blue triangle. The hues used as a part of the Czech Republic banner are the customary shades of Bohemia, acquired from the Bohemian crests. The hues have much typical quality as indicated by the oldest customs.

The white color represents the peaceful and honest nature of the people of the Czech Republic; red symbolizes valor, courage, and the noble patriotic spirit of the people; the color blue represents the Czech virtues of vigilance, truth, loyalty, perseverance, and. Designed by an archivist in the Czech Home Affairs Department, the national flag of the Czech Republic was officially adopted on March 30, 1920. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Czech Flag for the future.
