Kahraman ırkıma bir gül ne bu şiddet, bu celal? Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal! O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak. Korkma! Sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak, The flag has been modified occasionally, the most recent being a reduction in the number of star points from eight to five in 1936. In 1923, after the declaration of the Republic of Turkey, this old flag from the Ottoman Empire was used. The traditional star had eight points which represented each of the eight states of the empire. The crescent and star on a red field were popular during the Ottoman Empire and was introduced in 1844. The history of the flag dates back to the Ottoman era and includes several flags that incorporate the crescent and star.
The image is believed to be a part of this historic event that established Turkey after the end of the Ottoman rule. The most popular theory is associated with the Battle of Kosovo, which led to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire which ruled until the 19th century. The explosion was construed as the dynasty of Constantinople (Istanbul). The oldest theory is linked to the first Ottoman Emperor, Osman I, who reported seeing a crescent moon appear from the chest of a Sharia judge, whose daughter he pursued a hand in marriage, before exploding. The history behind the Turkish flag is based on various theories. The flag has a width-to-length proportion ratio of 2:3. The crescent is used in honor of the religious affiliations of the nation and its people, while the white star represents the diversity of Turkish cultures. The crescent moon and star serve as insignia for Turkic peoples. The flag represents the reflection of the moon and a star in a pool of blood of Turkish warriors. The red background of the Turkish flag represents the bloodshed by soldiers who lost their lives during Turkey’s War of Independence against the colonial powers of France, England, Greece, and Russia. The red color was adopted from the imperial standard color of the banner of the Ottoman Empire in the 17th century. The National Flag of Turkey features a red background with a vertical white crescent moon (the closed portion of which is towards the hoist side) and a white five-pointed star centered just outside the crescent opening both of which are placed slightly to the left on the red background.
