Puerto Rico Flag - Symbol of National Identity and Heritage #1320345 (License: Personal Use)

The Puerto Rican flag consists of five horizontal stripes-alternating red and white-with a blue equilateral triangle based on the hoist side bearing a single white five-pointed star. Red symbolizes the blood of warriors, white represents victory and peace, and blue stands for the sky and sea surrounding the island; the star embodies the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Originally designed in 1895 by exiled patriots in New York, it was banned under U.S. rule until 1952, when it became the official flag upon Puerto Rico’s establishment as a U.S. commonwealth.
