The banner of Austria is a red and white flat triband that was re-received on May 1, 1945, after World War 2. This red and white striped banner is one of the oldest national banners in Europe.
The red and white colors in this flag are taken from a legend in which the Duke Leopold V of Austria was blood-soaked from the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, and only a strip of white remained under his sword belt. He then chose these colors and pattern for his flag.
The Austrian Empire was founded in 1806. Austria was taken over by the Nazis in 1938. The allies occupied Austria after WW II until it became totally independent in 1955 on the proviso that it remained neutral. Red colour has a great deal of implications. It could mean adoration, amazingness, war, receptiveness or even sickness. Since this colour is used to portray strength. This characteristic mix to have courage.
The flag of Austria has three parallel lines with two red colors and in between is color white. Same with the other countries - white still represents honesty and truth. It does not matter if you are known, but an act of honesty towards others causes chain reactions, widening the message of peace in each mind, calmness in heart, the strength of soul, and harmony to the environment.
After the end of the War, Austria was occupied by the four Allied forces (Soviet Union, United States, Great Britain, and France), who divided the country into four zones. The capital Vienna was also divided in four, with the historic central district being jointly administered by the “Allied Control Councilâ€. Although the Austrian parliament was democratically elected, every legislative regulation or political action of the government at first required consent by the Allied Control Council and later on could still be vetoed by it.
Of course, this is not the end of the story. On October 26, the Austrian national flag is presented throughout the country. Memorial ceremonies are held in many locations, federal museums offer free entry and some state institutions open for visitors. Today, every country in the world has a flag. And this symbol demonstrates the nation.
