Hungary Flag And The Flag Company Inc

By Erika Long


The medieval Kingdom of Hungary was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1526 and was liberated by the Austrian Empire in 1699. It had an uneasy relationship with the Hapsburg monarchy. The Ausgleich (Compromise) of 1867 granted Hungary considerable autonomy over its internal affairs and control over its non-Magyar ethnic groups. The Emperor of Austria was also King of Hungary. Institutions were Imperial, Royal, or Imperial and Royal (Kaiserlich-und-Koeniglich). This arrangement lasted until the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of World War I.

By 14 B.C. , western Hungary was part of the Roman Empire's provinces of Pannonia and Dacia. The area east of the Danube was never part of the Roman Empire and was largely occupied by various Germanic and Asiatic peoples.

Adopted on October 1, 1957, the national flag of Hungary comprises three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white (middle), and green (bottom). The colors used in the flag have been borrowed from the coat of arms of France. The tricolor has been in use since 1608 when Mathias II, the Holy Roman Emperor was crowned the King of Hungary.

Each if the colors used in the flag has a symbolic meaning. Red signifies valor, courage, and the noble patriotic spirit shown by the countrymen during the fight for independence, it also stands for the blood shed in the independence struggle. White is a traditional symbol of peace and faith and represents the faithful nature of the Hungarians. Green symbolizes agriculture and the hope for a better future.

The thought of the banner started in 1848 however finished in the Hungarian Revolution that occurred against the Habsburgs. The banner was endorsed as the national banner of the nation in 1867. It was used to represent Hungary amid the First World War when the Austro-Hungarian Empire went down.

Amid the Second World War, after Germany involved Hungary, the banner was abrogated and was supplanted by five diverse national banners. It was just in 1956 when against Soviet assessments started to surface, that the plain tricolor of red, white, and green was formally received as the official banner of Hungary. The Flag Company Inc had practical experience in banner outlines offered a unique release of decals and banners to remember the historical backdrop of Hungarian banner for future generations.
