Poland has had a long and rich history. Over the past thousand years, the country has defended its freedom and sovereignty from foreign aggressions on numerous occasions. Due to country’s geopolitical location between the East and the West, Polish history is marked with wars and uprisings. There was a time when Poland was the largest country in Europe but there was also a stage when it was totally erased from the world map for over a hundred years.
Thanks to the resilience and pride of the people who value freedom above all, Poland has not only managed to overcome troubles but also has been offering its own contribution to European history and culture.
The same pattern was revived after World War I by many Polish nationalist organizations. The red flag with a white eagle was ultimately rejected, however, in favour of a simple horizontal bicolour of white over red adopted on August 1, 1919. The Polish state disappeared from 1939 to 1944 during the Nazi conquest of Europe, but communist-led forces, backed by the Soviet Red Army, returned the white-red flag to Poland. Nevertheless a change was made in the Polish coat of arms: the golden crown that had long appeared on the head of the eagle disappeared.
In the year 1830 to 1831, tricolor cockades which are composed of white, red and blue are worn by soldiers. The red and white combination is also worn by most soldiers. Because of the lack of uniformity on the cockades of Polish soldiers, the white and red combination was finally adopted as their official cockade. This adaptation happened on the 7th day of February 1831.
The flag of Poland consists of two horizontal halves - the top half is white and the bottom half is red. The colors of the Polish flag are based on the colors of the national coat of arms which is a white eagle on a red shield and dates back to 13th century. The red symbolizes the blood shed in the country's fight for independence and the white symbolizes peace. Since 2004, May 2nd is celebrated as Flag Day in Poland but it isn't a public holiday.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Poland flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Poland future.
