Austria National Flag

By Gloria Pane


The origins of present-day Austria can be traced back to prehistoric times. The Danube River valley was populated as long ago as the Paleolithic Age (50,000 B.C.E. â€"8000 B.C.E. ). Austria was inhabited by Celtic peoples from prehistory until it fell under Roman control in the first century B.C.E.

The banner of Austria is a red and white triband that was re-embraced on May 1, 1945, after World War 2. This red and white striped banner is one of the most established national banners in Europe.

Red is a powerful color and everyone knows that this color has a lot of meanings. It could mean love, supremacy, war, open-mindedness or even disease. Since this color is used for supremacy, the color red was used in Austria to characterize strength. This trait stir to have bravery. When a state is known to have courage or bravery it has a hardiness to have a strong notion on aggregating heroism. For a land to always have valor has precedence in heroic acts.

Red is an effective colour and everybody realizes this shading has a considerable measure. It could mean affection, amazingness, war, liberality or even ailment. The red was used as a symbol of the power of Austria. This characteristic mix to have courage. When a state is known as to have valor, it has a toughness to have a sense of heroism. Settled in prehistoric times, the central European land that is now Austria was overrun in pre-Roman times by various tribes, including the Celts.

After the end of the War, Austria was occupied by the four Allied forces (Soviet Union, United States, Great Britain, and France), who divided the country into four zones. The capital Vienna was also divided in four, with the historic central district being jointly administered by the “Allied Control Council”. Although the Austrian parliament was democratically elected, every legislative regulation or political action of the government at first required consent by the Allied Control Council and later on could still be vetoed by it.

Austria is a combination of pristine landscapes and bustling cities, historic towns and cutting-edge architecture, love of tradition and thirst for the new. What keeps travelers coming back to Austria is the sense of a lifestyle that celebrates the finer moments in life.
