Country Flags

Country Flags.  Adding some of the various country flags to your yard or garden can add some special significance to your life, especially if you are patriotic.

Will Country flags ever get a make over, it seems we need it…?

Some countries have flags that relate to revolution and war, and blood.. what kind of message can that give us. We don’t want anymore wars. Don’t you think the world countries should re make flag symbols and colors?

I think that they should. But all nations always create such a long history for themselves — the French, the English, the Indians….every country believes that its people has existed for thousands of years. Yet the truth is that there has always been mixing among people and migrations — we are all one. Until people accept this, flags will not change.

Country Flags

Few flags spark such feelings of pride of heritage and history as the green, white and blue of the Italian flag.

The Amazing History of the Italian Flag

The symbolism behind the Italian flag is altruistic, the green stands for hope, the white for faith, and red for charity. These are all virtues of a truly “good” human being, and they are virtues that Italy proudly strives for.

This flag first represented the Cisalpine Republic at Modena in 1797. The Italian constitution was created by the Austrian “Hapsburgs,” and based in large part on the French constitution. By 1805, when Napoleon I took control over the kingdom of Northern Italy, the Tri-Color flag was what represented this domain. Under Napoleon’s rule, and under Pope Pius VII, the fifteen states were united into three areas.

However, barely ten years later, this unity ended at the 1815 Conference at Vienna, when the country was split into nine states. Outside forces were a constant influence upon the turmoil and divisiveness within the country.

However, in 1848, King Carlo Alberto finally led Nationalist forces to free Italy of these forces, and the tri-color flag was once again adopted as the national flag. King Alberto included his royal arms, including his black eagle shield, on the flag. By 1860, the entire country was under the control of King Alberto’s son, King Vittorio Emmanuele I.

In 1870, France was invaded by the Prussians, and Napoleon III withdrew completely from Italy. King Emmanuele II took advantage of this departure and took over the city of Rome, and it became the capital city.

Finally, many years later, in June 1946 just after WWII ended, Italy became a Republic and the nation’s flag returned to its original tri-color design, void of any coat of arms or crown – signifying a free and liberated Republic.
