The Kingdom of Hungary was a monarchy in Central Europe.
Design[]
The Hungarian flag is a tricolour that is meant to evoke elements of French revolutionary ideals, but conflicting accounts claim that the tricolour flag long predated the French Revolution. Its colours were inspired by the Hungarian coat of arms, which is on the flag itself.
Symbolism[]
The red stands for strength, white for faithfulness and green for hope. Alternatively, red for the blood spilled for the fatherland, white for freedom and green for the land, for the pastures of Hungary.
