Whatâs the reason for the flags of Romania and Chad being basically the same?
Thereâs no story, i think itâs just one of those weird coincidences. I know that the romanian flag had the same layout as far back as the 19th century and possibly earlier, so it predates Chadâs, who got their independence ( and presumanly their flag ) in the 60s.
During the communist regime however (1948-1989) Romaniaâs flag also had an emblem in the middle, so when Chad decided on their flag i assume they chose the simple blue-yellow-red because it wasnât technically âtakenâ.
After the revolution we ( Romania ) reverted to the simple flag, which was now conflicting with Chadâs.
Edit: additional fun facts - during the early 90s there werenât a lot of ânewâ flags in Romania, so we used the communist ones but with a hole where the communist emblem used to be. Thatâs why pretty much all the flags you see in images with Romania during that time will have holes in them. The cut flag was also a symbol of the revolution for a good while.
