    Ignoring the differences in colours, why do all five Scandinavian countries have the same basic flag design?

    Question #117825. Asked by Wizzid. (Sep 27 10 8:40 AM)

    		The first flag with the design was the Danish Dannebrog; thereafter, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and some of their subdivisions used this as inspiration for their own flags. The Norwegian flag was the first Nordic cross flag with three colours. Though the flags share this pattern, they have individual histories and symbolism. The cross symbolises Christianity.
