flag: Kuwait

The flag of Kuwait features horizontal stripes of green, white, and red, along with a black trapezoid. Each color represents Kuwait's history and values.

Adopted in 1961, this flag uses the traditional colors of Arab nations. It is a symbol representing Kuwait, a major oil exporter in the Middle East.

The green on the flag symbolizes fertile land, white represents purity, red symbolizes the blood of enemies, and the black trapezoid represents past foreign invasions. The Pan-Arab colors express solidarity with the Arab world.

Modern Kuwait has developed into a wealthy nation, maintaining a high standard of living through its oil industry. During the 1990 Gulf War, this flag became a symbol of freedom and independence, and is now recognized as a symbol of economic prosperity in the Middle East.
