Cuba Flag Description:
Five equal horizontal bands of blue (top and bottom) alternating with white; a red equilateral triangle based on the hoist side bears a white, five-pointed star in the center; design influenced by the US flag.
Cuba Flag Information:
The Cuban flag was created by Narciso López in 1849, and put together by Emilia Tolón.
The colors represented the aspiration for freedom that all men share: red, white and blue. Three blue stripes represent the states into which the island was divided at that time; two white stripes imply the force and dedication of the idealistic soldier for independence; a red triangle for equality, fraternity and liberty, and the blood shed in the pursuit of freedom; a white five-sided star, inside the red triangle, as a symbol of freedom between nations.
The flag is twice as long as it is wide.
There were several other attempts to establish a flag for a free and independent Cuba. The first Cuban flag was made by Joaquín Infante in the first decade of the 1800s, and was used by Cuban rebels in 1809-10 during a separatist conspiracy.
