Why Do Countries Change Their Flags?

Imagine your school has a logo, like a lion on a blue background. But one day, they decide to make it a eagle on a green background because the new principal thinks it looks cooler and represents strength better. That's kind of what happens when countries change their flags, they want something that better fits who they are now.

Flags can show history, identity, or even political changes. When a country feels like its old flag no longer matches the way people see themselves, it might time for a new design.
