The flag of Croatia has a long history and has undergone several changes over the years. The current design of the flag was adopted on December 22, 1990, following the country's independence from Yugoslavia.

The red, white, and blue colors of the flag are believed to be inspired by the French Tricolour, which was a symbol of the French Revolution and the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The colors have also been associated with Croatia's history and culture, with the red symbolizing the blood of Croatian heroes and the white representing the purity of the Croatian people.

The blue represents the Croatian sky and the Adriatic Sea, which have played an important role in the country's history and development. The coat of arms in the center of the flag is a stylized depiction of the historical Croatian arms, which were used by the Croatian Kingdom during the Middle Ages.

The crown above the shield represents the Croatian regions and symbolizes the unity of the Croatian people. Overall, the flag of Croatia is a symbol of the country's independence, sovereignty, and cultural identity.
