Flag of Hungary
The national flag of Hungary, also known as the Red-White-Green (Hungarian: piros-fehér-zöld), is an equal horizontal tricolour of red, white and green. In this exact form, it has been the official flag of Hungary since 23 May 1957. The flag's form originates from national republican movements of the 18th and 19th centuries, while its colours are from the Middle Ages. The current Hungarian flag is similar to the 1816 version of the British republican tricolour, differing only in the shades used. The colours in that form were also already used since at least the coronation of Leopold II in 1790, predating the first use of the Cispadane Republic's tricolour in 1797. Following the removal of the coat of arms in 1957, it became one of only three flags of a socialist state in Europe to not incorporate socialist symbolism, alongside the Polish and Czechoslovak flags.
