Description
Everything you ever wanted to know about flags in this wonderful guide. Vexillology is an interesting topic that most of us don't know anything about. Just by knowing the meaning of the parts, you can better understand that country's history. Learn the meanings of crosses and saltires seen on many flags throughout the world. Understand the symbolism of colors, crescent moons, stars, suns, and circles. Special symbols on flags may represent something from that country's past or a change in leadership. You can also learn how flags of some countries have changed over the centuries. For example, the flag of Spain in 1785 was chosen by King Charles III because it looked distinctive at sea. In 1931, the flag changed because the monarchy was overthrown; the color purple was added, in 1938 the flag was changed by Francisco Franco (new dictator) and a black eagle was added, and in 1981 the flag was changed to what we see today. Explore the world of flags with this very helpful resource! 109 pgs, hc.
