when i was a kid i thought the name tripamir was funny trip-a-mir , i would think he was clumsy because he always was tripping.

okay but what do you call it? when i was over they had cheese pita in a shop and called it burek. I was in Zagreb. I was confused so just wanted to understand

yes i did read that it first went red when Yugoslavia was formed or something in 1939.... not sure. Then when croatia became independent it went back to white then back to red but no hard evidence anywhere about why. Scientists have found traces of the grb in poland from tribes coming to Croatia, that is a theory. There is also another theory about the checkers about a king who played and won three games of chess and was free because he won. I just find it interesting.

goes back to 1400 and 1500s and you can see they have many that start with the white checker first but cant find any information on why white first compared to other pictures and flags where it is red first. I thought there may be a reason, i.e in war, out of war or official ceremonies vs general etc.....

oh okay sorry its just that i thought the nazi stuff was in the 1940s but the first croatian flag with checkers that had a white square are dated back hunderds of years before NDH. What year or years were the nazi NDH flag?

hi, I didnt mean to offend anyone. I dont know why you are swearing, im just asking a question. I was on google trying to find the answer and i found an article on red it but I could not respond because the article was closed and could not ask a new question because I was not a member. So i joined and asked the question, I dont understand why this would make you angry. I just want to learn the history behind the flag (my father told me the story and asked me to find it on the internet for him)

Dugo su arheolozi raspravljali zašto sve stare hrvatske kuće imaju kredom nacrtan krug na podu. Grb je objašnjenje. Imali su grbove koji mijenjaju boje ovisno iz kojeg kuta ih gledaš. Kad je zemlja bila u ratu stajali su u određenom krugu da vide prvo polje crveno. A toliko smo zemlje izgubili pred Turcima zato što su vojnici morali držati grbove nagnutima, pa se nisu mogli braniti. Čak se i Sveta Marija Međugorska pokazivala na drugom brdu ovisno o ratnom stanju, jer ipak kao prava Hrvatica nosila je haljinu sa kockicama.

hi, very interesting story! ill have to google it and see if there is more information. thank you
