Talk:Flag of Bohemia

Comments

Not long time ago, I passed my constitutional law exam, so I dare say this article really is not correct. There was no flag of Bohemia, it was flag of the Czech Republic - part of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic 1990-1992. To Martinoza: The flag with triangle was created in 1920 the reason for it was not to be different from Poland but to incorporate Slovak blue to Czech white and red and not to disturb their order. The flag was adopted by the Czech Republic, just because it became very popular.--Motionofmind 03:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a former flag of Czech Republic, from the time when it was still a part of Czechoslovakia (1990-1992). I strongly suspect that it is not used any more. I am going to ask about it at [1]. - Mike Rosoft 13:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, you're right, it was a Czech Republic flag between 1990-1992. From 1993, Czech Republic adopted a former Czechoslovak flag (with triangle) to avoid confussion with the flag of Poland. However, it was not met with too much understanding in Slovakia. Martinoza 08:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC. the flag is regular red and a god sign

No, you're both absolutely wrong, there wasn't any Czech Republic between 1990-1992 with this flag. This is originaly banner of Bohemian kings and thus fits colors of c-o-a of kingdom of Bohemia (the largest part of recent Czech state). From 1993, Czech Republic adopted a former Czechoslovak flag (with triangle that was added once not for make flag different from that Polish one but for expresion of Slovakia being part of state; now u can say it symbolizes Moravia). However, it was not met with any significant protest in Slovakia. And this one is not used any more. Guest: Pravocet 14:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

You are mistaken. During 1990-1992, the constituent republics of the Czechoslovak federation had their own state symbols (used only domestically, with no international recognition), alongside the Czechoslovak symbols. The flag of Czech Republic was indeed the white-red flag at that time, though it was rarely displayed. -- EJ 02:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

National party of republic Czechoslovak 30.3.1920 aprove law n.252,which stile Czechchoslovak symbols include national flag.Beginning in this date is national flag that one , with blue triangle.Any red and white (polish) flag havent been existing.

This is a banner showing the Bohemian Landesfarben in the Austro-Hungarian Empire which are based on the arms - white double-tailed lion on red. After the last King of Bohemia had been deposed in 1918 there was no longer an official use for this flag and instead it was used unofficially mainly by the citizens of Prague prior to a formal design being approved for the future state. This future state - Czechoslovakia - was to include not just Bohemia (where most Czechs live) but also Moravia, Slovakia, Transcarpathian Ruthenia and parts of Upper Silesia where red and white were not the dominant national colours. In February 1920 the flag we know now as that of the Czech Republic was adopted by Czechoslovakia. In 1993 when Czechoslovakia divided there were demands made by Slovakia that the Czech Republic should not inherit the former flag shared by both territories. However, there was little demand to change the flag within the Czech Republic at the time and a reasonable arguement was made that the blue triangle now represented Moravia whose dominant colour on their own arms is, coincidentally, blue.

The Bohemian flag was indeed used as an official flag of Czechoslovakia until 1920 though it wasn't approved by the national assembly. It was rejected by the commission for the state symbols for being identical with the flag of Poland and there was also a fairly strong opposition from the Slovaks who wanted their blue colour to be represented, so it was obvious from the very beginning that the new design had to be adopted.
