Chile National Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #53450 (License: Personal Use)

The Chilean flag consists of two horizontal bands-white (top) and red (bottom)-with a blue square in the canton bearing a white five-pointed star. Adopted on October 18, 1817, it reflects Chile’s geography and revolutionary ideals: blue for the sky and Pacific Ocean, white for the Andes’ snow, red for the blood of martyrs, and the star for a bright future. The flag is often displayed during national holidays like Independence Day (September 18).
