Egypt, flag of

Flag History

horizontally striped red-white-black national flag with a central coat of arms (arms, coat of) in the form of a gold eagle. The flag has a width-to-length ratio of 2 to 3.

Many flags have been flown over Egypt in its thousands of years of history, but its first true national flag was established only on February 16, 1915, after the British, who had effectively controlled the country since 1882, formally proclaimed a protectorate to deter restoration of Egypt's nominal ties to the Ottoman Empire. The flag previously used by the khedive (the Ottoman viceroy in Egypt) became the national flag; it was red with three white crescents (crescent) and stars. Participants in the revolt of 1919 (Egypt) hoisted a green flag with a white crescent and cross, indicating unity between Muslims and Christians in the struggle for independence. A similar flag with three white stars instead of the cross was adopted on December 10, 1923, following the proclamation of the Kingdom of Egypt.

The 1952 revolt (Egypt) established the Arab Liberation Flag, which had red-white-black horizontal stripes and a gold eagle. That flag was often flown beside the national flag but did not itself have official status; nevertheless, its design was reflected in the official 1958 national flag of the United Arab Republic, where the gold eagle was replaced by two green stars to symbolize the union of Egypt and Syria. It was anticipated that the number of stars would increase as other Arab states joined the union. In fact, Syria seceded from the union, although Egypt did not alter the flag to reflect this. On January 1, 1972, the Confederation of Arab Republics was established between Egypt, Syria, and Libya. The stars were replaced with the gold hawk of Quraysh, symbol of the tribe to which the Prophet Muhammad had belonged. Finally, on October 9, 1984, five years after the dissolution of the federation, the gold eagle of Saladin—12th-century ruler of Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine—was substituted for the hawk.
