Hungary stems from the national freedom movement before 1848 which climaxed in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 as you can see in Hungary flag map, which was not only a revolution against the monarchy and to constitute a republic, but also a national movement against the Habsburg Empire. Thus, the tricolour feature of the flag is based on the French flag and the ideas of French revolution, while the colours red, white and green were taken from the historical coat of arms. The coat of arms first appeared in the form, which is but for minor details basically the same as nowadays in the mid-15th century, marshalled from arms that first appeared in the late-12th and early-13th century as arms of the Árpáds, Hungary founding dynasty. According to other data, the recent form of the Hungarian tricolour had been already used from 1608 at the coronation of Mathias II of Hungary. So the form of the Hungarian flag has its origins in the national republican movements of the 18th-19th century, and its colours in the Hungary of the Middle Ages.

The red-white-green tricolour emerged as a sign of national sovereignty during the 1848-1849 revolution against the Habsburgs as its shown in Hungary flag map. After the revolution was defeated, the tricolour flag was prohibited by the Austrian Emperor; after the Compromise of 1867, however, the tricolour became not only legal, but also the official flag of Hungary. The flag had the so called minor arms of Hungary with archeangels as supporters were used as a badge on the flag. This configuration was used until the end of the Habsburg Empire in 1918. After the fall of the Habsburg Empire, the years 1918 to 1920 were highly turbulent, and several hard-to-trace minor changes might have taken place. The red-green-white tricolour certainly stayed the same, but small differences may have occurred in terms of the badge. A short interlude and exception was the 1919 Hungarian Soviet Republic, which lasted for four-and-a-half months; it used a solid red banner.

The coat of arms was replaced in 1949 with a more Soviet-style symbol that appeared on the white stripe in the centre of the flag as its mentioned in Hungary flag map. During the revolution of 1956, this coat of arms was dropped and the traditional arms restored, but the following year, after the suppression of the revolution, the coat of arms was removed from the flag. A new coat of arms was created that also incorporated the national colours, but it was not added to the flag. Ever since, the national flag of Hungary has officially been the plain tricolour. In 1990 Hungary National Assembly restored the traditional coat of arms but left the national flag as established in 1957.
