Belgium National Flag 60x40cm

National, merchant, state and, until 1936, state at sea flag, adopted on 23 January 1831. It
was also the flag of the navy until 1862, when this weapon was abolished, and again,
from November 1919 to March 1927 and from 1939 to 1950, of some ships of marine "corps", created for defensive purposes.
The proportions, defined by use over the years, are fixed at 13/15 for use on land and 2/3 at sea.
The choice of a vertical tricolor was probably made with an anti-Dutch function and in homage to France, an ally of Belgium.
The definitive position of the colors was fixed a few months after the adoption, in September-October 1831.
