Since gaining full independence from France in 1946, Syria has used a number of different flags, all featuring the pan-Arab colours of green, black, white, and red. Initially a green, white and black triband charged with three red five-pointed stars, known as the independence flag, was used. In Ba'athist Syria, this was replaced by the flag of the United Arab Republic with a red, white and black triband with either two or three green stars or charged with the national coat of arms.

Following the fall of the Assad regime on 8 December 2024, on 13 March 2025, a Constitutional Declaration draft made the independence flag the primary flag; however, the final text ultimately retained the revolution flag, a modified version of the independence flag. Wikipedia
