Why are the Scandinavian Flags so Similar?

Denmark, Sweden and Norway have very similar flags. Why? In this video, we explore the history and vexillology behind the iconic Scandinavian flags of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Have you ever wondered why all the Nordic flags feature a similar cross-design? We’ll uncover the origins of these flags' designs and how they symbolize Christian solidarity, Scandinavian unity, and their shared history, dating back to the Kalmar Union. Starting with the Swedish flag, we examine its blue and yellow colours, representing perseverance, loyalty, and generosity. We’ll also dive into the story of the Danish flag, the oldest flag in the world, originating from the Battle of Lindanise in 1219, and how its red and white colours reflect bravery and peace. Lastly, the Norwegian flag blends Danish red and Swedish blue, symbolizing its historical ties with both countries.
