Lithuania

About the flag

The correct answer is Lithuania. Among the options, only Lithuania uses the yellow–green–red tricolor; Austria is red–white–red, Estonia is blue–black–white, and Kosovo features a blue field with a gold map and stars. Lithuania adopted this flag in 1918 and restored it in 1989 as it moved to regain independence from the USSR. The colors symbolize yellow for sun and grain, green for forests and hope, and red for courage and the blood shed for freedom. Memory tip: think “Sun – Forest – Courage” from top to bottom. To place it among its neighbors, remember the Baltic trio: Lithuania is the warm tricolor (yellow–green–red), Estonia is the cool one (blue–black–white), and Latvia is the wine-toned one (maroon–white–maroon).
