Flag of Cuba - National Symbol and Historical Significance #73255 (License: Personal Use)

The Cuban flag consists of five horizontal stripes-three blue and two white-with a red equilateral triangle at the hoist bearing a white five-pointed star. The design was created in 1849 by Miguel Teurbe Tolón and adopted upon independence in 1902; it reflects the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity rooted in the nation’s revolutionary history. The blue stripes represent the three historic departments of Cuba, the white stripes signify purity and peace, the red triangle stands for the blood shed in the struggle for independence, and the white star embodies freedom and independence.
