Vietnam's flag was adopted by North

Vietnam's flag was adopted by North Vietnam on November 30, 1955; it was adopted in what had been South Vietnam on July 3, 1976, after the communist North Vietnamese won the civil war and the country was forcefully unified.

The Vietnamese flag has a red background with a five-pointed golden-yellow star in the center. The five points of the star stand for the farmers, workers, youth, intellectuals, and soldiers of Vietnam. The height of this flag is two-thirds the width; the star is two-thirds of the height of the flag.
