Myanmar's flag is made up of three vertical stripes of yellow, green, and red. In the center of the flag is a five-pointed white star. The design of the flag was inspired by the flags of Japan and China.
The colors on Myanmar's flag represent different things. Yellow stands for solidarity, green represents peace and tranquility, while red signifies courage and decisiveness. The five-pointed star in the center symbolizes unity among the people of Myanmar.
Myanmar's flag was adopted on October 21st, 2010 when the country officially changed its name from Burma to Myanmar. Prior to this change, Myanmar had been using a different flag that featured a cock instead of a star in the center. This change in flags coincided with other changes taking place in Myanmar at that time, such as switching from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic.
