Flags have been used for many purposes, and they are the must-have of every country. Can we determine facts about country through looking at the flag rather than the history books? Only one way to find out...

There are symbols on flags to show their religion, independence, or allegiance. Plus, the position and look of shapes and symbols on a flag and can change its meaning.

Geography and Flags

Due to geography, beliefs and ideas were hard to spread back then. This created centralized regions of ideas. This also means regions of similar flags. Example: the countries in the Middle East have similar flags. From this, we can find the relative location of countries.

Colors and Flags

Colors express values of countries in their flags. Some are universal (the same meaning throught the world) while others aren't. For instance, the color white represents peace. That is common knowledge world wide which makes it universal.

Conclusion:

Yes, flags can be used to interpret a country. The colors and symbols give us a look into a country's values. The overall look can be traced to other flags from the same region of the world. Plus, the position of shapes and symbols on a flag can affect the meaning of the flag.
