Kuwait Flag Meaning & History

Kuwait’s flag is relatively new, having been adopted on September 7, 1961. During the 19th century, Kuwait was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, so it used the same flag, a white crescent moon, and a star on a red background. In the early 20th century, several different flag designs were proposed and tried, but all shared the same principle: The country’s name ‘Kuwait’ was written in white Arabic or Latin letters on a red field.

The flag features the Pan-Arab colors. Red symbolizes the blood of war, white represents purity and noble actions, green is for Arabia’s fertile lands, and black depicts the defeat of enemies in battle. This symbolism is drawn from the writing of Safi al-Din al-Hilli, a 14th-century poet.
