Flag of Lithuania

The flag of Lithuania is composed of a tricolor of horizontal stripes in yellow, green and red. The flag was already in force from 1919 to 1940, until Lithuania became part of the Soviet Union and the flag was abandoned. In 1989, Lithuania withdrew from the Soviet Union, and the tricolor was once again adopted as the national flag. The chosen colors are said to reflect Lithuanian values ​​and local nature. Yellow represents the sun and fertile cornfields, green represents forests and meadows, and red represents the blood shed in the battles for the country’s independence and the courage of Lithuanians during these battles. The flag differs from the form used before the Soviet occupation only in its dimensions.
