Brief History
The earliest known flag is that of the Kazakh State of 1456 to 1847. When Russian immigrants started settling into the country by their thousands many Kazakhs began clashing with them. This led the Soviet Union to invade and take it as part of the Russian Empire in 1822. During this time the Kazakh state was ruled under the white-blue-red tricolour Flag of the Russian Empire.

The Flag of the Russian Empire (1822 – 1917)
The White army took control in 1917 and creating the Alash Autonomy. During this time the flag was changed to a red field with a crescent and five-pointed star facing to the right. They gave over control of the Kazakh state to the Soviets in 1920. Eventually in 1936, after two name changes, the Soviet forces would call the state The Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic and choose a new red flag with lower blue horizontal line with a gold hammer and sickle and five pointed star. This flag would remain until the end of the Soviet Empire in 1991.

The Flag of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic (1936 – 1991)
Kazakhstan was the last Soviet Republic to be declared Independent and Shaken Niyazbekov designed its new flag.
The light blue colour of the flag was chosen to represent endless sky, a symbol of ethnic unity. The sun represented life, energy, wealth and plenitude. The eagle was used to show freedom and flight for the future. The ornamental pattern represents the horns of the ram, a national traditional pattern.
