Flag of Upper Volta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag of Upper Volta was a horizontal tricolour of black, white and red which derive from the three main rivers: The Black Volta, White Volta and the Red Volta. This flag was adopted on December 9, 1959. The flag resembles that of the German Empire, which was abolished in 1918.
The flag was changed when Upper Volta became Burkina Faso on 4 August 1984.
