Flag of Czechia

🎨 What the flag means

The Czech flag has a white stripe on top, a red stripe below and a blue triangle pointing in from the left. White and red are the old colours of Bohemia, and red is also linked to Moravia. The blue triangle was added in 1920 and today stands for fairness and independence. It is the same flag Czechoslovakia used.
