History of the Algerian Flag
Algeria has a rich history and culture. The country has a desert climate on one side and a Mediterranean climate on the other. Algeria, which has hosted different nations in history, contains some traces of all these nations. Agriculture has a great importance in the economy of the country. However, what makes Algeria important is its rich diamond deposits. Since the country has an important position in terms of underground riches, the country was occupied by the colonial French after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. This occupation lasted until 1962 and the occupation ended with an honorable resistance by the resistance groups within the country. However, Algeria has not yet been able to overcome the effects of the years it spent under colonial rule. Today, the Algerian flag is flown at different points in the country, representing the integrity and independence of the country.
Algerian Flag Meaning
When flags are designed, they are not only designed as a symbol of the country; they are designed with certain meanings. These meanings are specially chosen to keep the nation together and to remind the nation of its strength. This is also the case for the Algerian flag. Algeria, which gained its independence after a great and bloody war, has embroidered the pain of the war on its flag so that people would not forget it and appreciate their independence. The Algerian flag consists of two colors, green and white, on the ground. These colors evenly divide the flag in half vertically. The white color on the flag represents the purity and cleanliness of the country and that it has never been a cruel country. Indeed, Algeria has never been a persecutor, even though it has experienced great suffering in different periods of history.
The green color on the Algerian flag represents Islam. Islam is of great value and interest in Algeria. This value is also engraved on the flag of the country. Apart from the colors, the Algerian flag also has a red colored moon and star. This moon and star are located in the middle of the flag. Half of the moon and star is on the green color; the other half is on the white color. The meaning of the crescent and star is to identify with Islam. The crescent and the star together represent prosperity and Islam. The red color of the crescent and star is a tribute to those who lost their lives during the war of independence and represents their blood.
Algeria Flag Dimensions
One of the issues that countries express in their constitutions or laws when determining their flags is the dimensions of the flag. The flag of each country is designed taking into account certain measurements. This is also the case when it comes to the Algerian flag. Both the size of the flag as the area it covers and the size of the moon and star on it are specified in the constitution of the country. Companies producing flags should take this into consideration and produce accordingly. The ratio of 1:2 is accepted in Algeria as flag size. Accordingly, whatever the height of the flag is, its width should be 50 percent more than it. In other words, a flag with a height of 100 cm should have a width of 150 cm. There are also different measurements for the moon and star.
Algeria Flag Areas of Use
The most common places where flags are used are state institutions and official squares. Flags are also used in national and international arenas where the country needs to be represented. In addition, flags are displayed in diplomatic representations in different countries as an expression of the mutual recognition of the two countries. For this purpose, the Algerian flag is used in many places both inside and outside the country.
