Flag of Syria - Official National Symbol and Historical Meaning #2192769 (License: Personal Use)

The Syrian flag consists of three horizontal stripes-red (top), white (middle), and black (bottom)-with two green five-pointed stars positioned centrally on the white band. The colors derive from the Pan-Arab flag, while the stars symbolize the union of Syria and Egypt during the United Arab Republic (1958-1961); they were retained after the union dissolved to represent historical unity and aspiration. The design has undergone several modifications since its first adoption in 1932, with the current version standardized in 1980.
