About the Estonian Flag
The current Estonian flag was first adopted nationally in 1918, but was banned after Estonia was forced to join the Soviet Union in 1940. Since independence in 1991 this blue, black and tricolour is once again the national flag.
A popular explanation of the colours is that the blue stands for the blue sky above Estonia, the black represents attachment to the soil of Estonia, for centuries "black" with worry, and the white signifies purity and hard work.
