Kuwait is believed to have been part of an early civilization in the 3rd millennium B.C. and to have traded with Mesopotamian cities. At the beginning of the 18th century, the 'Anizah tribe of central Arabia founded Kuwait City, which became an autonomous sheikhdom by 1756.
Kuwait obtained British protection in 1897 when the sheik feared that the Turks would expand their hold over the area. In 1961, Britain ended the protectorate, giving Kuwait independence, but agreed to give military aid on request.
The Kuwait flag was adopted on September 7, 1961, after Kuwait gaining independence from Britain on June 19, 1961. The Kuwait flag was officially hoisted on November 24, 1961. The flag was replaced after Kuwait was invaded by Iraq in August 1990, and was restored when Kuwait was liberated in February 1991. The design of the Kuwait flag is believed to be based on the Arab Revolt Flag of 1916, which was used as a symbol of Arab nationalism during liberation struggles against Ottoman (Turkish) rule.
The flag of Kuwait consists of three horizontal stripes - the top stripe is green; the middle one white; and the bottom stripe is red. On the left-hand side of the Kuwait flag, there is a black trapezoid.
The flag was replaced when Iraq invaded in August of 1900 and restored when Kuwait was liberated in February 1991 with help from American troops. The flag of Kuwait now in use has a black trapezoid at the hoist and three horizontal equal stripes of green representing fertile fields. The white is for honor and purity, red blood of defeated enemies and black represents the defeat of enemies.
Another arrangement of implications is that white connotes honor, red is for heroism, grit, quality, and valor, green speaks of rich fields, trust, happiness, love and in numerous societies green has a hallowed importance, and dark is for the thrashing of adversaries or determination.
