History of The Flag of Tanzania
The flag of Tanzania was officially adopted on June 30, 1964, following the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, which formed the United Republic of Tanzania. The flag's design merges elements from the flags of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Tanganyika's flag, adopted in 1961, featured a green and black band with yellow edges, signifying the country's natural landscape and mineral wealth. Zanzibar's flag, adopted in December 1963, included a blue field as a nod to the Indian Ocean. The combined design represents the union and aspirations of the newly formed nation.
