The Estonian Flag
The Estonian flag has three horizontal bands of blue, black and white. The flag originated as the flag of the Estonian Students Association at Tartu University in 1884. As nationalism grew the flag became associated with the concept of the Estonian nation, and was adopted as the national flag when Estonia became independent in 1918. The flag was banned in soviet times, but has now been restored and is a source of much pride to Estonians.
