The national flag of Benin is a flag consisting of two
horizontal yellow and red bands on the fly side and a green vertical band at
the hoist. Adopted in 1959 to replace the French Tricolour, it was the flag of
the Republic of Dahomey until 1975, when the People's Republic of Benin was
established. The new regime renamed the country and changed the flag to a green
field with a red star in the canton. This version was utilized until the regime
collapsed in 1990, coinciding with the Revolutions of 1989. The new government
promptly restored the original pre-1975 flag.
