Morocco Flag History Today
Posted by Unknown on 1:19 AM with No comments
Morocco has been the home of the Berbers since the second millennium B.C. In A.D. 46, Morocco was annexed by Rome as part of the province of Mauritania until the Vandals overran this portion of the declining empire in the 5th century. The Arabs invaded circa 685, bringing Islam. The Berbers joined them in invading Spain in 711, but then they revolted against the Arabs. In 1086, Berbers took control of large areas of Moorish Spain until they were expelled in the 13th century.
France took control in 1912, making its capital at Rabat and handing Spain a token zone in the north. Opposition from Berber mountain tribes was officially crushed but continued to simmer away and moved into political channels with the development of the Istiqlal (independence) party.
Starting in the 17th century, at the time when Morocco was still under the rule of the Alaouite Dynasty, the Moroccan flags were mostly in red color with no markings. It was only until Mulay Yusuf ruled Morocco in 1915 that the green laced pentagon-shaped star was placed at the center of the flag. The pentagon-shaped star was generally used by occults for centuries. It is said that the “Seal of Solomon†was used in the flag in order to distinguish the flag from the other flags of Islamic nations with the similar red background.
The original design of the flag had been used continuously even at the time of the French and Spanish domination of Morocco. However, it was required to be used in land only and not in the sea. When Morocco finally acquired its independence in 1956, the original design of the flag was considered as the national flag of Morocco.
The flag of Morocco consists of a red base with a green outlined, five-point star known as the 'Seal of Solomon' in the center of it. Green and red are traditional colors of Islam, which is Morocco's official religion. Red is also the color of the reigning Moroccan dynasty. The Seal of Solomon represents the link between God and the nation.
The pentagram is a five-pointed star, drawn with five straight lines, which intersect to create the outline of a star. This style of a star has long been used as a symbol of religions as the star of Solomon, and the green is also often associated with religion.
