Answer: Belgium
Belgium is a nation in Northwestern Europe. The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, France, and the North Sea all border the nation to the north, east, southeast, and northwest, respectively. Brussels is the nation’s capital and largest city. Following the Belgian Revolution, when it broke away from the Netherlands, which had only been around since 1815, the nation as it is known today was created.
The national flag of Belgium is a tricolor consisting of three equal vertical bands displaying the national colours of Belgium: black, yellow, and red. The colours were drawn from the Duchy of Brabant’s coat of arms. The black band is closest to the pole when flown (at the hoist side). It has 13:15 proportions.
The Belgian Revolution began on August 26, 1830, the day after rioting at the Brussels Opera, when the French flag was flown from the city hall of Brussels. The rebels hastily replaced it with a tricolour made of red, yellow, and black stripes that was purchased from a fabric store close by. As a result, the colours of the Belgian nation are Red, Yellow, and Black, which are shown in reverse order on the official flag, according to Article 193 of the Belgian Constitution.
The flag’s horizontal stripes turned vertical on January 23, 1831, and on October 12, it took on its current appearance with the black put on the hoist side.
