The '''Flag of Denmark''', the '''''Dannebrog''''' is red with a white [[Scandinavia]]n cross. It is the oldest flag in the entire world.<br />
<br />
The flag is supposed to have fallen from the sky during a battle in 1219 in [[Estonia]]. The Danes were about to lose the battle when this sign from above gave the warriors new energy, and made them win. <br />
<br />
In reality the Dannebrog of 1219 was most likely a crusade banner - the war in 1219 was a [[crusade]] against the [[Estonia]]ns, who were not [[Christian]]s. <br />
<br />
The battle took place in the 15th of June, and every year the flags birthday is celebrated in this day. <br />
<br />
In some countries the flag is a symbol of the state. In Denmark the Dannebrog is very much a symbol of the people, and the flag is used for all kinds off private celebrations - such as [[birthday]]s, [[wedding]]s and [[Christmas]]. For [[Denmark|Danes]] the Dannebrog is a sign of happiness and celebration and not of patriotism.<br />
