Steel Flag

The National Flag of the Republic of Estonia

Tricolor type flags, including historical flags of Europe, are flown most from aluminum and steel flag poles throughout the world. Take the national flag of Estonia for example, it features 3 horizontal stripes or bands in the colors blue, black and white. The design is the same for the civil and state version of the flag as well as the civil ensign.

To official flag proportion is 7:11, or in centimeters, 105 x 165. Adopted officially back in 1918, the flag is called blue black white, after the tricolor colors, by the people of Estonia. Interestingly, the naval ensign is different from the other versions of the flag, as well as the flag of the President.

Referred to as officially as the Republic of Estonia, this territory is located in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. Russia is located to the east and by Latvia to the south. Interestingly, and surprising to some, the inhabitants of this beautiful country are called “Finnic people.” The spoken language Estonian is very similar to Finnish.

According to historians, the first settlement of this territory occurred some eight thousand years BC, directly following the Ice Age. Different people and nations have ruled the territory for years in the past, including the Danish and Russians. Estonia officially regained independence back in 1991, some 20 years ago. Ever since this country has experienced rapid social and economic growth.

The Republic of Estonia is recognizes officially as a democratic parliamentary republic and is divided into 15 different counties or provinces. The capital and (not surprisingly) the largest city of this territory is “Tallinn.” With a population count of only one point three million, this country is one of the least-populous members of the E.U., or the Euro zone as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The Estonian flag is one of many historical flags in the world today. Attached to flag poles since 1918, the invasion of the Russians back in 1940 led to a nationwide ban of the tricolor. However, it was displayed from a flagpole in combination with the red flag on 06/22/1940, a short while after the invasion but disappeared completely in July of that same year. Today it’s displayed proudly from objects of all kinds!
