Representing the colors of "liberty," what was the first country to adopt red, white, and blue for its national flag?
Answer The Netherlands
Originally, the Dutch flag was orange, white, and blue, representing the 16th century Prince of Orange's role in the country's independence movement from Spain. This evolved into a red, white, and blue tricolor flag, which was recognized by France during the 18th century as the "colors of liberty" when they adopted their own tricolor during the French Revolution.
