Flag of Bulgaria

\nThe Flag of Bulgaria consists of three equal horizontal bands of white (top), green, and red. The white and red colors originated from the flag of Russia used during the Russo-Turkish War in 1878. The green replaced the blue color because Bulgaria was developed as agricultural country after its independence. The former coat of arms, formerly on the hoist side of the white stripe has been removed after 1989 - it contained a rampant lion within a wreath of wheat ears below a red five-pointed star and above a ribbon bearing the dates 681 (first Bulgarian state established) and 1944 (liberation from Nazi control).
