Flag of Bahrain

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flag Ratio: 3:5

The nationalflag ofBahrain is a white band on the left, with a red area on the right split by five triangles.

Red is the traditional colour for flags of the Arab states of theArabian gulf. The five points are for the five pillars of Islam.

It is very similar to theflag of Qatar, but that flag is darker, has more points, and is longer than the Flag of Bahrain.

History

[change |change source]

The oldest known flags of Bahrain were plain red. In 1820, Bahrain made atreaty with theUnited Kingdom. A white stripe was added to show the truce. In 1932, a saw-like edge was added to make the flag of Bahrain different from its neighbours.

The flag first had twenty-eight white points. This was changed to eight in 1972. In 2002 the number was changed to five. This was so that each of the points could stand for one of theFive Pillars of Islam.
