Belgium is a very ancient nation. It was even mentioned by Julius Caesar about 2,000 years ago in his writings on the Gallic Wars. For centuries, Belgium was part of a larger state structure of The Netherlands. Belgium only became an independent country in 1830. Before that, it has belonged to nearly all major continental European powers during their heydays, including the Romans, the Franks, the Holy Roman Empire, Habsburgian Spain and Austria, Revolutionary France, and the United Kingdom of Netherlands.
Belgium, a small country in Western Europe, is generally flat except for the hilly and forested southeast (Ardennes) region. After centuries of invasion and occupation, this crossroads of Europe now stands at center stage in the newly unifying continent.
The National Flag of Belgium was adopted on 23 January 1831, following the nation's independence from the rule of the Netherlands in the year 1830. The original Belgian flag had horizontal bands, but due to its likeness to the Netherlands flag, the design was later changed to vertical bands. The current vertical design of the National flag of Belgium is founded on the flag of France and its colors had been taken from the Brabant flag. The National Flag of Belgium played a significant role during the revolt.
The colors of the Duchy of Brabant were transferred to the Belgian flag, the vertical arrangement of the strip is based on the flag of France. The similar color scheme with the black-red-gold flag of Germany is purely coincidental.
The flag's vibrant colors of black, yellow, and red stand for freedom and revolution. The left or hoist side of the flag of Belgium has a stripe in black, the center stripe is yellow, and the right side stripe is red.
This symbolic horizontally banded flag was carried during this revolt as an important symbol of why they fought - for independence. 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.
