Kuwait Flag History Today

By Bill Clown


Kuwait is believed to have been part of an early civilization in the 3rd millennium B.C. and to have traded with Mesopotamian cities. At the beginning of the 18th century, the 'Anizah tribe of central Arabia founded Kuwait City, which became an autonomous sheikhdom by 1756.

In 1871, Kuwait became a province of the Ottoman Empire, Basra County. In 1899, the British signed a secret agreement, forcing Kuwait to become a "sovereign state." In 1939, Kuwait officially becomes a British "protectorate." In 1954, chief Abdullah Sabah headed the Supreme Council. In 1960, the council took over from the British judicial system and monetary management. On June 19, 1961, Kuwait declared independence.

The Kuwait banner was received on September 7, 1961, after Kuwait got independence from Britain on June 19, 1961. The banner was supplanted after Kuwait was attacked by Iraq in August 1990, and was restored when Kuwait was freed in February 1991. The outline of the Kuwait banner is accepted to be founded on the Arab Revolt Flag of 1916, which was used as an image of Arab patriotism amid freedom battles against Ottoman (Turkish) rule.

The flag of Kuwait consists of three horizontal stripes - the top stripe is green; the middle one white; and the bottom stripe is red. On the left-hand side of the Kuwait flag, there is a black trapezoid.

Red, white, dark and green are alluded to as dish Arab hues and have been connected to the Arab individuals and Islamic confidence for quite a long time. The hues on the Kuwait banner speak of Arab solidarity and independence and are used as a part of the banners of numerous nations in the locale. The green stripe speaks of the richness of Arab countries and the dark speaks of the thrashing of adversaries. The red stands for the blood of the crushed foe and white symbolize honor and immaculateness.

Another set of meanings is that white signifies honor, red is for gallantry, bravery, strength, and valor, green represents fertile fields, hope, joy, love and in many cultures green has a sacred meaning, and black is for the defeat of enemies or determination.
