Although the three nations were neutral at the start of the conflict, theMolotov-Ribbentrop Pact enabled the USSR to extend its influence over the Baltic region. In 1940, the three republics were occupied and incorporated into the Soviet Union. The Soviet government banned the national colors, replacing them with red socialist flags featuring the hammer and sickle, distinguished primarily by the initials of the respective republics.
The Soviet occupation lasted approximately one year; in June and July 1941, following Operation Barbarossa, German troops invaded the Baltic region and established the Reichskommissariat Ostland. The previous national flags, which had been banned by the Soviets, came back into use particularly during public and military events and for propaganda purposes alongside German insignia. Local volunteer units also used flags inspired by those of their respective countries. A minor exception was the Belarusian Central Council, which used the traditional colors of Belarus from 1943 to 1944
| 2 |  +6Soviet and German Flags in Baltic During World War II.
In Eastern Europe, the Baltic states—having endured centuries of subjugation by foreign powers such as the Swedish and Russian Empires—took their first steps toward independence during World War I, finally achieving it through struggles in the early 1920s. Between 1918 and 1920, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia adopted the flags that still fly today, albeit with some modifications to their proportions and color shades.
Originating between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these flags carry distinct meanings. The colors of the Estonian and Lithuanian flags are rooted in nature and folklore, whereas the red and white of the Latvian flag derive from the region's 13th-century military banners. These flags flew throughout the interwar period, but the outbreak of World War II altered the situation. | 31 |

| 4 |  +7The new country adopted a democratic parliamentary system characterized by high political fragmentation. The situation changed in 1934 when Prime Minister Kārlis Ulmanis staged a coup d'état, dissolved Parliament, and established an authoritarian nationalist regime, while formally maintaining the state's independence.
During the 1930s, Latvia attempted to maintain a policy of neutrality, yet found itself in an increasingly precarious position between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939, with its secret protocols, placed the Baltic states within the Soviet sphere of influence.
In the autumn of 1939, the Soviet Union imposed a mutual assistance treaty on Latvia, securing the right to establish military bases on its territory. The following year, taking advantage of the international situation and the fall of France, Moscow presented new political and military demands. | 82 |
| 5 |  +7HISTORY: Latvia's modern history began at the end of World War I, when the collapse of the Russian and German empires allowed the Baltic peoples to assert their independence. The Republic of Latvia was proclaimed in Riga on November 18, 1918, but the new state immediately faced a difficult war of independence against Russian Bolshevik forces and German troops remaining in the region.
After intense fighting—supported by the United Kingdom, Estonia, and other allies—Latvia succeeded in consolidating its sovereignty. Peace treaties were signed in 1920 with Soviet Russia, which formally recognized Latvian independence. In 1921, Latvia was also admitted to the League of Nations.

| 6 |  Some flag designs proposed for Lithuania in 1940. All of them feature a yellow-white-red color scheme, which appears to derive from the ancient coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Additionally, one of the designs places the Columns of Gediminas in the center. | 44 |

| 10 |  +2During the Crusades, pilgrims undertaking the warlike road to Jerusalem, especially from the late 12th century, began using banners to identify one another. Among these, the Germans adopted the colors of the Order of Saint John, known as the Hospitallers. It was a red banner with a silver cross. This flag became extremely important from the 13th century onward, as it also symbolized the emperor in battle or his army; later, it was also granted to his feudal lords when war was to be waged in his name. It also became the symbol of various states, such as the Republic of Florence, the Duchy of Savoy, and the Swiss in 1415 against the Habsburgs, hence the Swiss flag. Although formally considered to have ceased use around the mid-14th century, it did not disappear entirely. In fact, it was mentioned again in 1454 during the war against the Turks, with its last appearance reportedly in 1683, carried in a parade in liberated Vienna. | 51 |
| 11 |  +3What links a medieval flag to a ritual symbol of a twentieth-century regime? There are several elements we can identify, first and foremost nationality. Both are symbols of German history, even if they aren't directly related. This is the case with the Blutfahne, or "Blood Flag," as its name suggests. It was a symbol originating in the 11th century, reserved for the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, who held the right to administer justice and inflict corporal punishment or death on the condemned. Over time, it was granted to his vassals, who with it were guaranteed the same rights as the ruler in terms of justice, but also a legitimacy of their own power. As the centuries passed and the SRI ended in 1806, it was forgotten, until 1923. The NSDAP used to display a party flag, also called the Blutfahne, on the anniversary of the attempted and failed coup, in memory of the blood shed on it by Andreas Buriedl, who died on it, hit by the bullets of the Bavarian police who were trying to stop the coup. | 60 |
| 12 | +3 Cosa unisce una bandiera medievale ad un simbolo rituale di un regime del ventesimo secolo? Più elementi possiamo dire, primo fra tutti, la nazionalità, entrambi in fatti sono simboli della storia tedesca, seppure non siano in successione diretta. Questo è il caso della Blutfahne, ovvero la "Bandiera del Sangue" cosa intende il suo nome. Era un simbolo originario dell'XI secolo riservato al sovrano del Sacro Romano Impero, il quale era detentore del diritto di somministrare la giustizia e infliggere pene corporali o la morte dei condannati. Nel tempo venne concessa ai suoi vassalli, i quali con essa avevano garantiti gli stessi diritti del sovrano in quanto a giustizia, ma anche una legittimazione al proprio potere. Con il passare dei secoli e la fine del SRI nel 1806 ci si dimenticò di lei, questo fino al 1923. L'NSDAP usava durante l'anniversario del tentato e fallito colpo di stato esporre una bandiera di partito, chiamata anche lei Blutfahne, a ricordo del sangue versato su di essa da Andreas Buriedl. | 1 |

Hello everyone! Enjoy these wonderful illustrated flags! 🏳 | 52 |
| 14 |  +3INTERESTING FACT: Between the 1920s and 1930s, in Mandatory Palestine, it was well known which ethnic group would prevail in Palestine, aided by the British authorities. At that time, the Jews did not have a flag as a people; on the contrary, various unofficial insignias circulated, sometimes in books, then in drawings on postcards, or... in photographs. One of these provided the basis for subsequent Jewish flags, at least in art. A photograph, taken somewhere in the middle of nowhere, on an unknown date, shows a young tree with two easily recognizable flags flying above it: the first is the Union Jack, the English flag; the other is a two-tone blue and white, with the Star of David in the center. The black and white leaves no answers as to its true colors, only interpretations. It could be blue like blue and the blue and yellow star like white, it is not known, but the shape was re-proposed in other contexts such as on the poster of the Anglo-Palestinian fair of 1933 and other | 70 |
| 15 |  +2Some time ago, the existence of a flag caused a stir in the English-speaking media, a simple banner, bipartite blue and white, bearing in its center a religious symbol that has been controversial for centuries, and no less so today: the Seal of Solomon, better known as the Star of David. Beneath it, there was only one name, plain and simple: Palestine. Why? Many, especially on one side, immediately seized the opportunity to claim that the land had already been promised to a certain people, claiming it was definitive proof, but the truth is far from it. At that time, Palestine was administered under trusteeship by the United Kingdom, and the only flag was the British one, flying "From the River to the Sea." However, the use of personal flags was widespread, ensigns that private shipowners used on their vessels without distinction between Jews and Arabs. The flag first appeared in the Larousse encyclopedia, so it is clear that it was simply a misunderstanding carried too far; it remained until the 1939 edition. | 81 |

| 18 |  +1After the conquest of Palestine in 1918, the League of Nations granted its administration to Great Britain, which from 1920 onwards held it under a trusteeship, until 1948, when the State of Israel was created. The only flag flown was the Union Jack, but this posed a problem, as its use at sea was prohibited. Therefore, in 1927, the Palestinian government passed an amendment requiring ships registered under the mandate to fly the British Red Ensign, with a white disc on the right side with the word "Palestine" inside. A different design was originally proposed, with the Seal featuring the walls of Jerusalem on its interior, but the cost and production difficulties caused the oversimplified idea to be rejected. | 63 |
