The national flag of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti lipp) is a
tricolour featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue (top), black, and
white. The normal size is 105 by 165 centimetres (41 in × 65 in). In Estonian
it is colloquially called the "sinimustvalge" (literally
"blue-black-white"), after the colours of the bands.
First adopted on 21 November 1918 after its independence,
it was used as an national flag until 1940 when the Soviet Union and Germany
occupied Estonia. After World War II, from 1944 to 1990, the Soviet Estonian
flag consisted first of a generic red Soviet flag with the name of the
republic, then changed to the red flag with a band of blue water waves near the
bottom. The Estonian flag, which was also used by the Estonian
government-in-exile, was officially re-adopted 7 August 1990 one year before
its official restoration of independence.
