What does the United States, France and Chile all have in common? Among many things, each country has a flag encompassing a red, white and blue theme. Why is that?
The second reason involves imitation and influence, which Kaye described as the"more important" one of the four.
"In the 1600s, the Netherlands was a dominant seafaring nation and its flag was a horizontal tri bar, a red, white and blue. And that set the example for other countries. The Czech flag uses those colors, too, and the Dutch colors influenced countries and other flags in its orbit." "So, the third reason for red, white and blue might be the reasons that are attributed to the colors that sometimes those reasons are given to the colors after the flag is adopted," Kaye said."... Red is commonly associated with blood. Therefore, bravery and sacrifice quite often means peace or purity. And blue can mean truth or tranquility, or sometimes water or sky."
