Qatar Flag History
The initial national flag of Qatar was red, decorated with a series of diamonds and with the name of the country inscribed on it in white. Initially and up to 1860 the flag had simply been red to which a white bite was added. Between 1916 the flag happened to be of white color but the truth is that soon it would be replaced by the previous one, to which it was being added different elements. Apparently the reasons for the color change are due to the exposure of the same to the Sun that darkened the color so it finally led to directly change the color of the flag towards the current garnet.
Approval
The flag of Qatar was adopted on July 9, 1971. Earlier Qatar had a similar flag but resembled the flag of the neighboring country of Bahrain. The flag is purple with a wide toothed white stripe. The purple color of the flag came when a red tone was used to make the flag. When the flag stayed in the sun changed to a purple color that was believed to be a better color. The white of the flag represents peace, and purple symbolizes the bloodshed of those in the numerous wars that Qatar faced in the second half of the 19th century. The nine peaks of the jagged line indicate that Qatar is the ninth member of The “Emirates Reconciled” of the Persian Gulf.
