Many centuries ago, at the time when Benin was called Igodomingodo, that geographical area now known as Benin, was the hub of a conglomeration of little towns that developed or spread into most of the areas of modern Bendel State. The land consists of a narrow coastal strip that rises to a swampy, forested plateau and then to highlands in the north. A hot and humid climate blankets the entire country.
The French have been the first in the region, with a fort established at Ouidah in the 17th century, and it is they who launch a military campaign into the interior in the 1890s. A French protectorate is established in part of the kingdom in 1892. By the end of the decade, the entire region is under control. In 1899, Dahomey is included in the newly established French West Africa, to begin sixty years under French colonial rule - until achieving independence in 1960.
Dahomey has a turbulent existence in its first decades of independence, from 1960, after the dissolution of French West Africa. Power changes hands in no fewer than six military coups between 1963 and 1972.
The flag of Benin was adopted in 1959. It was changed because of the accession of the Marxist regime in 1975. However, upon the latter's fall, the old design was reintroduced on august 1, 1990. The colors are the traditional Pan-African colors. The green symbolized hope, the yellow symbolized wealth, and the color red symbolizes courage.
The configuration on Benin's banner before the new one was presented was a green band all through the surface of the banner with a little red star on the upper left hand of it. The new banner of Benin demonstrates an immaculate shading green flat band on the left side and a just as vertical proportioned yellow and red on the right.
Not all banners have three major parts colored and furthermore, no banners on the planet has ensigns or images in it. This is not to demonstrate that Benin is a nearby or simple nation. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
