When King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne (including Ireland), a united kingdom was formed under one ruler. A new flag was made to represent this new nation, and it was formed from the flag of England (red cross on white background) and the flag of Scotland (white X-cross on blue background) to form the first Union Flag. Later, St Patrick's cross (red X-cross on white background) was added to represent Ireland, giving the striped red, white and blue flag known today.

The stripes on the United States flag (13 in the current form), represent the original 13 founding colonies. The color of the stripes (alternating red and white) don't individually stand for anything - that is, the color of the stripes, field, and stars don't specifically have any meaning. The choice of red, white, and blue for the US Flag seems to come from the Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom). As the original colonies were formerly British, using the flag of their former overlord as the basis for the new flag is a reasonable choice.
It depends. Which flag? If it was the US flag then red represents hardiness & valour
Great Britain has not had a flag since 1800. The flag comprised St George's cross (a centred red cross on a white background representing England and Wales, which had been unified in the sixteenth century) and the Saltire (the flag of Scotland; a diagonal white cross on a blue background). The Union Flag (the flag of the United Kingdom) which came into being on 1 January 1801, added to the above St Patrick's cross, a diagonal red cross on a white background. Until 1922 St Patrick's cross represented Ireland. It now represents Northern Ireland as the fourth part of the United Kingdom.
