The Flag of Turkey features a red background with a large white star and crescent. The crescent is positioned to the left of the flag, with the star located within the crescent. This design is rooted in the country's history and symbolizes the Ottoman Empire, which used similar motifs. The red color represents bravery and the blood of those who fought for the nation, while the white symbolizes peace and purity. The flag was officially adopted on June 5, 1936, and has since become a significant national symbol, representing the unity and identity of the Turkish people.
