Beautiful Flags

Why do nations choose their symbols for their flags? Have you ever wondered why Italy just has the three colored stripes, and Jamaica has their unique flag, along with Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and of course, the United States. I am srue I left out several, like Canada's Maple Leaf, Mexico's Eagle on the cactus, Japan's red circle, and much much more. I am sure there are histories of flags on the internet that everyone can find. I know that the US has changed it's flag several times throughout history but I really do not know much about other nation's flags.

Here are some of my favorite flags. Do you know what countries they are from?
