The flag of Egypt:

The first national flag of modern Egypt was established by a Royal Decree in 1923 when Egypt received its conditional independence from Great Britain in 1922. The color was green with a white crescent and three stars in the middle. In 1958, a presidential decree created a new flag for the United Arab Republic, which includes a merger of Syria and Egypt . The new flag has three colors : red, white with two green stars and black . Flag was rectangular and whose width is one-third of its length. In 1972, the law was amended to change the flag. The stars were removed from the flag and replaced with a golden hawk. In 1984, the hawk was replaced by a golden eagle on the eagle of Saladin, the sultan Ayubbid who ruled Egypt and Syria in the 12th century , the same Saladin of the Crusades.
