This website is dedicated to showing the flags that were flown during 1914. There are flags from every country that existed during the time. Some flags are similar to today like Belgium and the French flag, while others are very different from today's flags like China. hopefully you enjoy this side project of mine and remember some flags might be wrong because there is little information on them during the year 1914, which was 110 years ago, and some countries didn't even have flags so if there is indeed something wrong or you want to suggest the website then fill out the form HERE 

historical flags serve as powerful symbols that preserve and convey the rich history of a nation's past. For instance, the American Betsy Ross flag, with its 13 stars, symbolizes the original Thirteen Colonies and their fight for independence, while the Mapuche Flag in Chile embodies the cultural resilience of the Mapuche people despite centuries of colonization. Flags like these are often displayed in museums, such as the Confederate battle flag in the U.S., to educate visitors about pivotal events like the Civil War. They also document political and social shifts, as seen in South Africa’s post-apartheid flag, reflecting a transition to democracy. Moreover, flags like Japan’s Hinomaru, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries, represent continuity and enduring cultural identity. Through their designs, flags preserve the cultural symbols and values of a society, linking generations and fostering a deep connection between the past and the present. Whether in educational settings or national celebrations, historical flags inspire reflection on the struggles, triumphs, and evolving identities of the people they represent
