Subscribe Now In most cases that flags are similar you see that these countries are very closely related either historically, culturally or ethnically. Usually they are descended from the same people group. Other times it because of shared definition of common symbols or colors.
Let's first look at some of the flags of Europe and see patterns that emerge. I would like to start off with the world famous Union Jack which ties together elements of many nations into a single flag and which has become the predecessor to flags across the world. By understanding the Union Jack you can start to understand how the symbols for national identity are related throughout the world and why flags all over the world look so similar.

Flags are a link to a much larger story about the people who allow them to be their civic and personal banner. A group of people must identify with them to allow them to wave. A flag is a unifying element that binds a group together and separates them from others. It codifies values and builds walls from the outside. They are adopted by those who want to emulate other great nations. They evolve over time, but by looking at them as a whole we see a story. So you can see the effects of colonialism, religion and ethnicity on how different nations have adopted similar flag variants. From Denmark to the UK to Texas, Saudi Arabia, to Turkey to Malaysia flags can serve as a family tree of nations and cultures. They show the movements of people and ideas and are a link to our shared cultural heritages. All this to say there is a lot of reason why they look a lot alike.
