All Countries Flags
Here are thumbnails of flags from all the countries in the world.
The historical origin of flags dates back to around 1000 BC, when the Egyptians used primitive versions of flags -
some were even made out of wood or metal. Flags were originally used for the purpose of identification or to signal
to others. Now the most popular use of flags today is to identify the world's countries, the use of national flags didn't
become commonplace until the 18th century.
