When most African countries started to gain independence from their colonial powers in 1960's, they got inspiration to their country flags from Ethiopian flag - the only country in Africa, which was not colonized at the end of 19th century. That's why there are so many flags with green, yellow and red colors.

Liberia was created for freed slaves from North America, that's why the flag is so similar to the United States.

The whole country is quite similar to the USA. Their capital is Monrovia (named after James Monroe) and their currency is the Liberian Dollar.

Knew only South Africa and Liberia. Gawsh, I hate flags. (Studied them and took the quiz again and scored 34.) There are some really beautiful flags here. Love Seychelles and Swaziland - I think I'll remember those next time this is featured, as well as Madagascar which now makes me think of a large island separated from the rest.

They're really similar, but I found out the difference.

Romania uses Cobalt blue, but Chad uses Indigo blue, so Chad's flag is a shade of blue darker.

I know it doesn't make sense though.🤷

Apparently, Chad also had the ability to change the blue to green once, but they feared it would be too similar to Mali's flag, so they chose to be Romania's identical twin (not really) instead.
