75% of players answered correctly.
THE CORRECT ANSWER: France
The tricolour flag of France is one of the most recognisable national symbols in the world. Officially adopted during the French Revolution in 1794, its colours have a rich history. Blue and red traditionally represent the city of Paris, while white symbolizes the French monarchy. Their association brings together the people and the sovereign in the same national emblem. This three vertical stripe design has inspired many other nations across the globe when creating their own flag, including during independence or major political changes. Today, this flag flies on all French public buildings and embodies the values of the Republic: freedom, equality and fraternity. It remains a major visual landmark during official ceremonies, international sports competitions and events celebrating French history.
