The country of Hungary is located east of the Austria, in the central area of Europe. Represented by a wonderful national flag, the country's banner displays the colors red, white and green. The tricolor is displayed from objects of all kinds, including tall steel flag poles. The national Hungarian flag is not the only tricolor type flag attached to flagpoles and such in Europe. Germany, France and Holland also fly national tricolors.
Interestingly, Hungary's neighboring country Austria is represented by one of the oldest national flags in the world. Unlike the Austrian flag, the Hungarian flag was only adopted fairly recently, back in the 1950-s. For as much influence Austria may have had, Hungary's flag design is based on the events that surrounded the "Revolution Francaise." The design originated ties into the national freedom movement which had substantial influence during the 1800-s.
The modern displayed Hungarian flag is flown from both commercial and residential type flag poles throughout the country. The colors (red, white and green) of the flag were taken from the historic coat of arms. The tricolor came about as a result of the revolutionary events of the 1840-s. During the following years, the flag was prohibited by then ruling Austrian Emperor till 1867, when it did become legal and official. This tricolor is one of the youngest historical flags in the EU.
The capital and largest city of Hungary is the city of Budapest. Hungary is a member of the European Union or "EU," the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" or "NATO" and also is considered a Schengen state. Somewhat of an obvious fact to many, the official language spoken is Hungarian.
The color red is said to represent strength, white symbolizes faithfulness, and the color green is said to represent hope, thus making up the three colors shown on the national flag of Hungary. This and other flag of Europe are available in a variety of materials for in and outdoor use. Flags flown from aluminum and steel flagpoles are subject to elements of all kinds, including rain and wind.
