The French cockade is a circular emblem made of ribbons, typically in the colors of a nation. It became a symbol of the French Revolution, representing liberty and the fight against tyranny. The cockade is usually composed of three colors: blue, white, and red, which are the national colors of France. Originally worn by soldiers and revolutionaries, the French cockade has evolved into a national symbol. It is often associated with the ideals of the French Revolution and is still used in various forms during national celebrations, such as Bastille Day, to honor the country's history and values.
