The Flag That Won Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Flag of the United States: Report Although we are' a comparatively young nation, the Stars and Stripes may claim antiquity among national flags. They are older than the flag_of Great Britain, which was established in 1801; than the French tri-color, which was decreed in 1794; than the flag of the German Empire, which dates from 1870; than the flag of Spain, which was decreed in 1785; than the flag of Italy, which was established in 1848; than that of Sweden and Norway, which was decreed in 1817; than the flag of Portugal, which was adopted in 1815; than the recent flags of the empires of China and Japan; or those of all the South American States, which have in general been modeled from our own.
