if a flag contains red does this signify death of its inhabitants in a war?

Question

Someone told me this and i somehow don't think its true but also think maybe it could be, ive seached the net for months - cant seem to find an answer to this one???!!

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Every flag has its own meaning as determined by its nation. In many western countries, red symbolizes revolution. It later also came to symbolize Communism, for example, in the Soviet flag and the flag of the People's Republic of China.

Answer 2

not to my knowledge, for if what you say is true would not every country on earth have a flag with red in its makeup?
i am more likely to believe that symbolic colours for a country are more in tune with either its agriculture, or its own historical makeup.
much like the U.S AND Great Britain,Germany, Poland, ect ect. regards LF

Answer 3

Red usually means the blood shed in defense of or the establishment of a nation.

Answer 4

Switzerland has a white cross on a red background and have been neutral for well over a hundred years. Sounds like mumbo-jumbo to me.

Answer 5

if a flag contains red?
the English flag contains red,
does that mean every1 in England's war died?

Answer 6

"IN every crises Our Nation has ever fought we have called upon our young men, and thank God they have never failed to respond and the Red on our gloious banner is dyed a richer hue with the precious blood our nation's youth has shed"

Answer 7

No. But a military force about to attack, and which had been ordered to take no prisoners, often displayed a black flag.

Answer 8

perhaps you are thinking of early mediaeval combat, where to raise the dreaded 'dragon banner' indicated that no surrender would be accepted, no quarter given.
