Learning the flags of Western Europe can be challenging – but this flag quiz makes it much easier!

Did you know that France’s flag features blue, white, and red vertical stripes, inspiring many tricolors across Europe, while Italy’s flag uses the same vertical layout but with green, white, and red to represent its landscapes and history?

Or that Germany’s flag has horizontal stripes of black, red, and gold symbolizing unity and freedom, whereas the Netherlands displays similar horizontal red, white, and blue bands — but with a slightly different shade of blue and a historical connection to the Dutch struggle for independence?

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom’s Union Jack stands out with its layered red, white, and blue crosses representing the unions of England, Scotland, and Ireland, making it instantly recognizable among the simpler striped designs of neighbors like Belgium, which mirrors Germany’s black, yellow, and red but arranges them vertically.

This engaging quiz helps you notice and remember these kinds of details, so you’ll soon be able to recognize the flags of Western Europe with confidence.
