The Hungarian Flag
A Symbol of National Identity
Tricoloured Banner of Red, White, and Green
The Hungarian flag has a rich and storied history, with its current design officially adopted on October 12, 1957. This horizontal tricolour, consisting of red, white, and green stripes, is a symbol of national identity and unity.
The flag's proportions are 2 to 3, with the red stripe occupying the upper third, the white stripe the middle third, and the green stripe the lower third. The red stripe represents strength and bloodshed, the white stripe purity and hope, and the green stripe agriculture and nature.
The flag has undergone various iterations throughout history, but its current form has remained largely unchanged since 1848 when it was first adopted during the Hungarian Revolution. It has since served as a symbol of Hungarian independence and national aspirations, and is a revered symbol of the country's history and culture.
