A star (or stars) and crescent featuring in some combination form the basis of symbols widely found across the ancient world, with examples attested from the Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia.
During the 19th century, it represented the Ottoman Empire, figuring on the Ottoman flag from 1793. The Ottoman flag of 1844 continues to be in use as the flag of the Republic of Turkey. Other successor states of the Ottoman empire also used the symbol, including Azerbaijan (1918) and Tunisia (1956) and Algeria (1958).
The same symbol was used in other national flags introduced during the 20th century, including the flags of Pakistan (1949), Malaysia (1948),Mauritania (1959).
By the 1970s, the symbol also became associated with political Islam or the Muslim community, and was used in flags representing Islamismas in those of the Arab Islamic Republic and the US Nation of Islam.
