Download Picture of Czech Republic Flag Outline for kids to color
The Czech Republic flag is made of two equal
horizontal equal bands of red (bottom) and white (top). To the hoist side of the flag is a blue triangle. The colors used in the Czech Republic flag are the traditional colors of Bohemia, borrowed from the Bohemian coats of arms. The colors have much symbolic value according to the ancient traditions. The white color represents the peaceful and honest nature of the people of the Czech Republic; red symbolizes valor, courage, and the noble patriotic spirit of the people; the color blue represents the Czech virtues of vigilance, truth, loyalty, perseverance, and . Designed by an archivist in the Czech Home Affairs Department, the national flag of the Czech Republic was officially adopted on March 30, 1920.
Upon the dissolution of Czechoslovakia into two separate states (Czech Republic and Slovakia) on January 1, 1993, the two states adopted their own flags. The Czech Republic retained the flag of the former Czechoslovakia while Slovakia adopted their own flag with the same colors and with the shield of arms in the upper hoist. The flag chosen by the Czech Republic was a bicolor of red and white bearing close resemblance to the Polish flag. To avoid confusion, a blue triangle was added to the flag in 1920. Since then, this version of the flag has been in use.
