Following World War I, Serbia, as part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia), had no flag of its own but flew the Yugoslav blue-white-red tricolour (first hoisted on Oct. 31, 1918, shortly before the establishment of the kingdom).
Also in 1918, a Serbian flag was flown over the White House in Washington, D.C. as a show of solidarity by the U.S. towards Serbia during World War I.
