I am confused about flags?

[Anonymous]

please anybody can explain why uk and austraila flags are similar?

[Siri137]

So is the flag of Hawaii and New Zealand. They used to be outposts of the British Empire, is the simple and short answer.

I think it's because Australia used to be a penal colony for Britain. I think that's why Austrailians are so crazy. They all descended from criminals.

They usually relate back to things the UK conquered, Australia was originally a British colony and the flag reflects that.

Chadians and Romanians claim the Chad flag has a slightly darker tint, and the stripes are slightly different sizes
