Meaning of the flag of Qatar
The nine points are said to show Qatar as the ninth member of the reconciled emirates of the Persian Gulf after a treaty with Britain in 1916. White stands for peace, and the maroon is said to come from a red dye that darkened in the desert sun. The current flag was adopted in 1971, the year of independence.
