The United Kingdom occupied Washington in 1814, burning down public buildings, including the White House and Capitol. Special relationship my arse.
Correct SB, Jon Snow has just written a book about it, he was interviewed on Radio4 yesterday about it.
It looks very similar to North Carolina's flag. Is there a connection? please log in to view this image
Immediately thought of Czechoslovakia, but that didnt have a star and had arrow head blue band...but I think a definite "Slavic" colour. Fascinated enough to Google...but as yet without success
Ok it was previously used as a the national flag when Texas was an idependant country...I was completely up the wrong end of the world
It was also the flag of the independent, sovereign nation of the Republic of Texas, 1836-1846. Your go Beth.
Like Dead Flags...been looking at them for 20 minutes instead of working now...bad Beth What is this flag Cannot edit this...too easy...so take it away the first person to spot my ineptitude
Blimey! At least it was the same country. I think your comment was a bit harsh. I bet your a traffic warden who referee's on weekends in real life.
Sorry - that was rather a giveaway ! My question is easy to google so try not to. What was invented in 1887 by Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof ?
