The Kingdom of Bahrain is actually an archipelago of 33 islands in the Arabian Gulf that has been inhabited by humans since prehistoric times. Around 5000 years ago Bahrain was home to the Bronze Age civilization of Dilmun, which lasted some two millennia. Since then Bahrain has been occupied alternately by Babylonians, Sumerians, Greeks, Persians, Portuguese, and Turks, among others.
The Dilmuns were powerful and influential people. Situated along popular trade routes between southern Iraq and India and Pakistan, Dilmun was a center of business, a tradition Bahrain still holds dear as a financial hub of the Middle East. In the fourth century BC, Nearchus, a general in the army of Alexander the Great, explored Bahrain, when it was known by the Greek name Tylos. Greek writer Pliny commented on Tylos’ beautiful pearls in his writing in the first century AD.
The southern shoreline of the Persian Gulf was described by broad fighting and theft for a long time. In 1820, the British were effective in implementing peace on the Arab states. The General Treaty of Peace marked gave those regions with the United Kingdom ought to incorporate a white fringe on the plain red flags they already had flown.
Some countries, including Bahrain, reduced the white border to a narrow strip of white. Red was chosen because it was the traditional colour of the Kharijite sect of Islam, which controlled that part of the Arabian Peninsula; white was a good contrasting colour.
It is not known precisely when the initially red-white banner of Bahrain was set up. The acknowledgement was given to the banner in 1933 affected by the British counsel Charles Belgrave. The banner had been being used much sooner than that. After the British started to pull back from the Middle East, Bahrain was perceived as a free state on August 15, 1971, and the nation's first banner law got to be compelling August 19, 1972.
For three decades, the isolating line between the banner's white and red was shown either as a straight line or as a serrated line. On February 14, 2002, the present banner outline was received, indicating that the partitioning line must be serrated into five white triangles. For the special events, the Flag Company Inc invented beautiful decals and flags for the history support.
