Why are all flags 3 stripes?

That's the old Dutch flag, orange white blue. It's now red white blue. Or do you mean flags in general? Then the Ugandan flag would like to have a word.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that about the Dutch flag. But yes, I'm curious about why it's true for most flags in general...

And yes, the Central African Republic flag would definitely beg to differ as well
