The flag changed twice in 1978. In July 1973, Mohammed Daoud, overthrew the King and proclaimed the Republic of Afghanistan. The Soviet Union supported Daoud and was the first country to recognize the new Republic. The new regime initially used the Republican flag (black, red and green horizontal stripe) without the emblem. New symbols were adopted on 19 October 1978. The national flag, also used as state and war flag, was a 1:2 red flag with a yellow Soviet-Union-style emblem in the canton. On 27 April 1978, however, a coup overthrew Daoud and Afghanistan became a Marxist-Leninist state. Daoud was killed in his palace during the coup.
