The Lithuanian tricolor flag was re-adopted in 1989, after Lithuania regained its independence from the Soviet Union. It was last used in the beginning of the 20th century, from 1918 to 1940. The yellow stripe of the Lithuanian flag represents golden fields of grain, the green represents a lush countryside, and the red represents blood spilled in battle for Lithuania.
