History of the Brunei Flag
Brunei was a larger country. It lost some of its parts to enemies and was put under British protection. Its flag was plain yellow. Then the country turned into a British protectorate in 1888. The two diagonal stripes of black and white were added later in the year 1906. In 1959, the country had a new constitution and the coat of arms which was designed in the fifteenth century by the third Sultan of Brunei was added to the flag. Brunei proclaimed independence in 1981, and the flag was retained with minimal changes.
