Estonia is mainly a lowland country that is bordered by the Baltic Sea, Latvia, and Russia. It has numerous lakes and forests and many rivers, most draining northward into the Gulf of Finland or eastward into Lake Peipus, its largest lake.
Estonians resisted the assaults of Vikings, Danes, Swedes, and Russians before the 13th century. In 1346, the Danes, who possessed northern Estonia, sold the land to the Teutonic Knights of Germany, who already possessed Livonia (southern Estonia and Latvia).
In November 1989, the Estonian Supreme Soviet declared the events of 1940 an act of military aggression and therefore illegal. Disobeying Moscow's orders, Estonia held free elections in 1990. Despite Russia's attempts to stop it, Estonia regained its independence in 1991.
Estonian banner was received on August 7, 1990. It was initially embraced on November 21st, 1918 after Estonia proclaimed independence from Russia. Estonia was assumed control by Russia again in June 1940 and the banner was banned. Estonia recovered its independence on August 20, 1991. The Estonian banner was flown in both the 1905 and 1917 Russian upsets as an image of Estonian independence.
The current Estonian flag was designed in December 1990. The flag of Estonia consists of three equal horizontal stripes - the top stripe is blue; the middle one black; and the bottom stripe is white. The colors of the national flag represent Estonia's history, nature, and folk costumes. The blue stripe represents faith, loyalty and devotion as well as the sky, sea, and lakes. The black symbolizes the dark past and suffering of the Estonian people as well as the traditional black jacket of the Estonian peasant. The white represents striving towards enlightenment and virtue, hope and freedom. White also symbolizes the color of birch bark and snow and Estonian summer nights illuminated by the midnight sun.
The basis of the Estonian banner goes back to 1881 when Estonian college understudies endeavored to frame a fraternity. They embraced blue, high contrast as its hues. 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 of Estonian Flag right at home.
