and crescent is older than the stars
md stripes but only as a religious
mblem-not as national banner.
The Russian red, white and blue al
90 goes back to the 18th century, but
,nly used separately not as combined
now. The tricolor OF France was
adopted in 1881. The British Union
Jack did not exist in its present form
before 1901, the year of the creation
OF the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The German red,
white and black dates back to 1867,
as does the flag of Austria, the dual
monarch being formed in that year
The Italian flag now in use was
adopted in 1905. Japan's present flag
was adopted in 1859. The flag of the
Chinese is as new as their republic
Thus it appears the last flag to en-
ter the Great War is the oldest OF
