When I was a kid, I was fascinated with flags. People often found it weird: why would a preschool child be interested in flags of the world? But there I was, memorizing colors and combinations and just admiring them. To this day, when I travel to a foreign country, the only souvenir I bring back home is the national flag.
As you might imagine, none of the countries use random colors or symbols for their flags. They all have centuries of history and culture behind them. If you want to learn more about flags and their origins, you will find vexillology to be particularly useful, as it studies everything related to flags.
Apparently, “Guess the Flag” games are some of the most popular general knowledge quizzes online.
