The historical flag for the Czech countries is horizontal white over red (i.e. the Bohemian Landesfarben in Habsburg Empire, based on the arms - white double-tailed lion on red), and was unofficially used until some years ago. This was also the first flag of Czechoslovakia when this state was born in 1918 (independence proclaimed 14 november). On 29 february 1920 a blue traingle on the hoist was added.
