Today's Curiosity: Why Are Some Flags So Similar?
Ever noticed that the flags of Romania and Chad are almost identical? Or that Australia and New Zealand both feature the Union Jack in the corner?
Is Indonesia's flag just Poland upside down?
Why do so many African countries use red, yellow, and green?
CurioSage explores questions like these - not just because they’re interesting, but because they help us understand the stories behind design, history, and culture. Flags often reflect shared colonial pasts, regional symbolism, or intentional homage.
In today’s article, we break down the most frequently confused flags and explain how history, coincidence, and sometimes pure copying have shaped the symbols we see on the global stage.
If you’ve ever looked at two flags and said, “Wait, haven’t I seen that one before?” - you’re not alone. And now, you’ll finally have an answer.
