- That's why the Irish flag took all its importance during this rebellion. The significance of these three colors is strong and this is certainly the reason for its adoption as the national flag. The green represents the Irish tradition and nationalism, the orange symbolizes the Protestant minority, and finally, the white is a sign of peace, reconciliation and brotherhood between the two communities.

For the Irish, this was one of the first steps towards the independence of their country.
