The flag of Lithuania is a horizontal tricolor of yellow, green and red. The flag was adopted on March 20, 1989 on the event of Lithuania's break from the Soviet Union. Before its readoption, the flag was used from 1918 until 1940, when Lithuania was occupied in turn by Nazi Germany and by the Soviet Union. From 1945 until 1989, the Soviet Lithuanian flag consisted first of a generic red flag with the name of the republic, then changed to the more familiar red flag with white and green bars at the bottom. The most recent change to the flag occurred in 2004 when the aspect ratio changed from 1:2 to 3:5. (more...)
