Indonesian Coat of Arms
Indonesia's flag was officially created on August 17, 1945, after Indonesia became independent from The Netherlands.
The Indonesian flag is a horizontal bicolor with two equal horizontal bars. Red is on the top and white is on the bottom; the height of this flag is two-thirds the width.
In Indonesian, this flag is called "Sang Saka Merah Putih" meaning "lofty bicolor red and white". The red symbolizes human blood and the white represents the human spirit. The design of this flag is based on the 13th century Javan Majapahit Empire flag that had nine red and white stripes.
Indonesia's flag is very similar to the flags of Poland and Monaco.
