The national flag of Iceland was adopted on June 1944, and Iceland became a * * * Republic. Its design background is blue, with a white and red cross. Rectangular, with an aspect ratio of 25: 18. The bottom of the flag is blue, and the red and white cross divides the flag surface into four pieces: two equal blue squares and two equal blue rectangles. Blue represents the sea and white represents the snow. Blue and white are the national colors of Iceland, reflecting the characteristics of Iceland's natural environment, that is, in the blue sky and ocean, Iceland emerges as a "cold land". Red symbolizes fire. Because Iceland has a large number of active volcanoes, and the combination of ice and fire may be a major feature of Iceland. The volcano on the ice turned into a red pattern surrounded by white. The cross pattern on the national flag comes from the Danish flag pattern, because Iceland has been the territory of Norway since 1262 and was ruled by Denmark in14th century. Although Iceland was declared a sovereign country in 19 18, it is still under the control of the Danish king, and Denmark handles foreign affairs. In World War II, Iceland left Denmark and established diplomatic relations with Britain and the United States.
