The Flag of Turkey

The Turkish national flag, referred to as al sancak (the red banner) in the Turkish national anthem, is a relatively young flag, officially recognized on May 29, 1936, as the country achieved independence. The flag is based on one from the Ottoman Empire and has its roots in the 18th century. It is said that Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, saw the reflection of the crescent and a star in all the blood following the independence war, which is why the flag today is a symbol of independence.
