| Flag Description |
red with a black two-headed eagle in the center; the
design is claimed to be that of 15th-century hero George Castriota
SKANDERBEG, who led a successful uprising against the Turks that
resulted in a short-lived independence for some Albanian regions
(1443-78); an unsubstantiated explanation for the eagle symbol is the
tradition that Albanians see themselves as descendants of the eagle;
they refer to themselves as "Shkypetars," which translates as "sons of
the eagle"
