Belgium Flag


Hey guys! I haven't talked a lot about Belgium's history, so I wanted to tell everyone about my new found knowledge on the flag. Belgium's flag is black, gold, and red stripes in a vertical pattern. The flag was created based on France's flag. Belgium adopted the flag to show its independence and the colors of the flag represent the coat of arms. The country adopted the flag on January 23, 1831. The flag's colors are shown in the coat of arms, the gold stands for the lion, the black is the shield, and the red is the lion's tongue and claws. Hope you enjoyed learning about Belgium's flag!
