A white flag with a red stripe down the middle was the official flag of Belarus for several years, historically speaking. At the turn of the 19th–20th century, a cloth with this pattern was used among the first Belarusian nationalist circles and associations. The Belarusian People’s Republic (BNR) was declared in March 1918, and the white-red-white tricolor became its national flag. The republic lasted for just a few months and most of its territory was occupied by the Germans (World War I was still ongoing at the time). Nevertheless, the flag finally took root as a national symbol.
