Adults and children of all ages will be interested to learn about the colorful flags of the world, interesting facts about countries and test their knowledge of geography. Learning about flags opens up a wonderful world.
Behind every national symbol there is a long history: sometimes tragic, sometimes romantic, but never boring.
For example, everyone knows that Canada's symbol on its flag is the maple leaf. But did you know that in the nineteenth century there was a discussion of placing on the Canadian flag the image of... of a beaver? Is the maple leaf depicted on the flag now misrepresented botanically?
The Encyclopedia offers an introduction to the history of modern state flags. How did they come to be? What do the images they bear mean? How have coups d'état and political upheavals been reflected on them?
