The current design was originally created in 1958. It is inspired by the flag of Arab liberation, which m are the same colours as almost all flags in the Middle East. Sometimes they are known as pan-Arabic colours. The red was meant to represent the Hashemite Dynasty, white represents the Umayyad Dynasty, green the Fatimid Dynasty and finally black the Abbasid Dynasty. When the current flag of Syria was first adopted in 1958, it was when Syria had finally become completely independent of European influence and had decided to form the United Arab republic with Egypt. At the time, the two stars were added to represent Syria and Egypt and the colours were given contemporary meanings. Red stands for he shed of blood for freedom, white for a peaceful future and black the oppression that Arabs have suffered.
Thanks a lot Hadi!
