When most African countries started to gain independence from their colonial powers in 1960's, they got inspiration to their country flags from Ethiopian flag - the only country in Africa, which was not colonized at the end of 19th century. That's why there are so many flags with green, yellow and red colors.

Actually, Liberia hadn't been colonized either.

Level 76
Apr 18, 2020
Liberia was created for freed slaves from North America, that's why the flag is so similar to the United States.
+7
Level 68
May 20, 2020
The whole country is quite similar to the USA. Their capital is Monrovia (named after James Monroe) and their currency is the Liberian Dollar.

Knew only South Africa and Liberia. Gawsh, I hate flags. (Studied them and took the quiz again and scored 34.) There are some really beautiful flags here. Love Seychelles and Swaziland - I think I'll remember those next time this is featured, as well as Madagascar which now makes me think of a large island separated from the rest.

Eswatini may be a type of inn, but the new name of the country is eSwatini, and many are surly about the name change.

Really though, Mali and Senegal are neighbors and the only things that differentiate them are a star and very slightly tweaked hues

They're brothers and sisters, and the colours represent the same strengths and struggles.

I think it's inspiring that they express their unity.

It was for me mostly, but there some interesting comparisons between these two west coast nations!

My stupid self really typed Romania for Chad.
+1
Level 23
Jan 22, 2023
They're really similar, but I found out the difference.

Romania uses Cobalt blue, but Chad uses Indigo blue, so Chad's flag is a shade of blue darker.

I know it doesn't make sense though.🤷

Apparently, Chad also had the ability to change the blue to green once, but they feared it would be too similar to Mali's flag, so they chose to be Romania's identical twin (not really) instead.

I have learned all countries of the world, now I'm starting on flags. I have 48/54 African flags so far. I used to know 32. Progress!! Struggling with the ones with stars on them. Too similar looking.
