Wiki:
The flag of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos vėliava)
consists of a horizontal tricolor of yellow, green, and red. It was adopted on
25 April 1918 during Lithuania's first period of independence (in the 20th
century) from 1918 to 1940, which ceased with the occupation first by Soviet
Russia and Lithuania's annexation into the Soviet Union, and then by Nazi
Germany (1941–1944). During the post-World War II Soviet occupation, from 1945
until 1989, the Soviet Lithuanian flag consisted first of a generic red Soviet
flag with the name of the republic, then changed to the red flag with white and
green bars at the bottom.
The flag was then re-adopted on 20 March 1989, almost a year
before the re-establishment of Lithuania's independence and almost three years
before the collapse of the Soviet Union. The last alteration to the current
flag occurred in 2004, when the aspect ratio changed from 1:2 to 3:5.
