■ Religion: the flags of many European
countries feature the Christian cross;
the flags of many Islamic countries are
based around the four traditional Arab
colors—red, white, green, and black.

■ Regions: some countries that are made up
of different regions show this in their flags.
The crosses of St. George, St. Patrick, and St.
Andrew in the UK flag represent England,
Ireland, and Scotland, respectively.

■ Tricolors: many flags consist of three
colored vertical stripes, known as a
tricolor. These flags are inspired by the
red, white, and blue French flag, adopted
during the French Revolution.
