TURKISH FLAG
The red field of the Turkish flag represents the blood shed by soldiers who lost their lives during Turkey’s War of Independence against the colonial powers of France, England, Greece, and Russia. It is estimated that over 40,000 Turkish soldiers were killed during the battle. At night when the crescent moon appeared, it reflected on the red pool of blood on the battlefield together with the planet Venus, which was considered a star at the time. The image is a reflection of the sacrifices made for the country's independence. The red color was adopted from the imperial standard color of the Ottomans, which represented the domains of the Empire as the successor of the Romans, whose official color was red.
The crescent and star are also symbols of the religious beliefs of the Turkish people. The crescent and star were popular during the Ottoman Empire. The traditional star had eight points which represented each of the eight states of the empire. The crescent is currently used by the Turkish government in honor of the religious affiliations of the nation and its people, while the white star represents the diversity of Turkish cultures.
