The beauty of flags

The national flag of Uganda has six horizontal stripes of equal width - black, yellow, and red alternating twice from top to bottom. In the center of the field of the flag is a white circle with an eastern crowned crane standing on one leg and looking to the left. This bird, which lives in this country, has a good-natured character and has become the national symbol of Uganda. When Uganda was a British colony, the emblems, patches, and insignia of the Ugandan military used this bird.

Since Guadeloupe is still considered an overseas territory of France, it uses the French tricolor as its national flag. But it also has a local flag, which it cannot use in official events.
The field of the regional flag is divided by two horizontal stripes: the upper one a third of the flag's height is blue, and the lower one is twice as wide - black. On the upper stripe there are yellow heraldic lilies in a row, and on the lower one there is a radiant sun disk, behind which you can see green shoots of sugarcane.

The uniqueness of this flag is that it depicts the silhouette of the island. This flag was approved on the day of the proclamation of independence of the country - August 16, 1960. The Cypriot flag has a white cloth with the country's silhouette in copper-orange in the center, which reminds us that the island has copper ore. Below the outline of the island, two olive branches can be seen, signifying harmony and peace between the Greek and Turkish communities of the island, which they have been trying unsuccessfully to achieve here for a long time.

The flag of this country has six alternating blue and white wavy lines at the bottom - the symbol of the sea, and the upper part of the cloth is red. A yellow disk of the sun with 17 rays rises halfway up the waves, and a frigate bird hovers above it on the left side of the flag. The frigate symbolizes freedom and power. The sun, rising on a red background, is located on the equator, and each of its 17 rays represents as many islands in the archipelago. Thus, the flag succinctly describes the Republic of Kiribati, whose islands are on the equator line in the Pacific Ocean.

In 1969, the small kingdom of Bhutan adopted a very beautiful national flag that has become one of its symbols. It has a field diagonally from the lower left corner to the upper right corner divided into two triangles: the upper one is yellow and the lower one is orange. In the center of the flag, against the background of both triangles, there is a white dragon looking to the right. It holds treasures in its claws, which symbolizes the wealth of the country.

The national flag of the Republic of Belarus took as its basis the Soviet flag, designed in 1951. In its field the lower third is occupied by a green horizontal stripe, and the upper 2/3 of the cloth is in red. Near the flagstaff there is a white vertical band with a red ornament. The length of the flag is twice its width.

The flag of Kazakhstan has a very pleasant blue background, signifying the unity of the Kazakh and Turkic peoples who inhabit it (Tatars, Uzbeks, Uighurs and many others). This color also refers to the Tengri - so in the early Turkic religion was called the god of sky. In the center of the cloth is a yellow sun disk, from which 32 shining rays depart - all this symbolizes prosperity, abundance and life itself.

The Mexican flag is a vertically oriented tricolor with three bands of equal width - green, white and red - alternating from the stem to the opposite edge. In the middle of the central white stripe is an image of the coat of arms of Mexico. There is a Mexican golden eagle sitting on a cactus and defeating a snake.
