Flag of Liechtenstein
The flag of Liechtenstein ((ドイツ語:Flagge Liechtensteins)) consists of two horizontal blue and red bands charged with a gold crown at the canton. Adopted in 1921 after being officially enshrined into the nation's constitution, it has been the flag of the Principality of Liechtenstein since that year. The crown was added to the flag in 1937 after the country found out at the Summer Olympics held the previous year that their flag was identical to the flag of Haiti.
==History==
Liechtenstein was formed in 1719 as a principality within the Holy Roman Empire, and gained complete independence in 1866. Within this period, the colours blue and red were selected to feature on the flag, instead of the gold and red on the coat of arms that would have customarily been employed instead. These new livery colours were first utilized by Prince Joseph Wenzel I in 1764.〔 〕
A new constitution for the Principality was formulated and proclaimed in October 1921.〔 It made the blue and red banner the national flag by granting it "official status".〔 Fifteen years later, during the 1936 Summer Olympics, the country came to the realization that its flag was identical to the flag of Haiti. Because of this finding, the government added the prince's crown to the canton.〔 This change served two purposes – to signify Liechtenstein's position as a principality, and to distinguish its flag from Haiti's.〔 This modified design was adopted on June 24, 1937.〔
