Meaning & history of the Czechia flag

Czechia's flag has white over red horizontal bands with a blue triangle extending from the hoist. White and red are the traditional Bohemian colours; the blue triangle was added in 1920 to represent Moravia and Slovakia and to distinguish the flag from Poland's. It was retained by the Czech Republic after the 1993 split with Slovakia.
