	Flag of Haiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flag of Haiti was adopted on February 25, 1986.
		The red and blue flag is said to have been first created during the country's revolution against the French; the rebels removed the white stripe from the French tricolore and used that as their flag, only with the stripes flown horizontally instead of vertically, as in the French flag.
		At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, it was found that Haiti and Liechtenstein were using the same flag, which led to a crown being added to the Flag of Liechtenstein.
