Hungary

About the flag

The flag of Hungary features three horizontal stripes in red, white, and green, with the red stripe on top. This design has been in use since the 1848 revolution, symbolizing the nation's values: strength (red), faithfulness (white), and hope (green). The colors are inspired by the historical Hungarian coat of arms and reflect the nation’s rich heritage. Hungary's flag is not only a national symbol but also a testament to its complex history and culture, which includes influences from various empires and a diverse population. To help remember this, think of Hungary's connection to the Danube River, which flows through the heart of Europe, linking it to other cultures, much like the flag links different aspects of the nation’s identity.
