Explanation

The Netherlands' tricolour (red, white, blue) is considered the oldest existing tricolor flag, dating back to the 16th century when it was used by Dutch rebels during their fight for independence from Spain. France's tricolour was adopted after the French Revolution in 1789, making it much younger. Germany and Italy adopted their tricolors in the 19th century.
