Austria became an independent republic after the First World War, on October 16, 1918. Until 1918 it had formed part of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. One of the priorities of the new country was to design National symbols. The official National colours, red-white-red, were officially adopted on October 31, 1918. | Austria became an independent republic after the First World War, on October 16, 1918.
