Historical Background

The national flag of Benin was originally adopted in 1959 to replace the French Tricolor. It was used until 1975 when the People’s Republic of Benin was established, and a new flag featuring a green field with a red star in the canton was introduced. This version was utilized until the regime collapsed in 1990, coinciding with the Revolutions of 1989.

In a fascinating historical footnote, did you know that Benin was once a powerful kingdom in West Africa? In the 12th to 19th centuries, the Kingdom of Dahomey – which is now modern-day Benin – was known for its military prowess, economic prosperity, and cultural achievements. The kingdom’s legacy continues to inspire national pride and identity, symbolized by the vibrant colors of the Benin flag.
