Flag Detail

Among the oldest national flags in Latin America is Chile's own. On October 18, 1817, it was adopted. White is for snow in the Andes Mountains and in purity; red for bloodshed during Chile's struggle for liberation; and blue for the clear sky and the Pacific Ocean that frame Chile. Two parallel strips, one of which is white and the other is red, with a blue square in the canton, also stand for a white, five-pointed star. The guiding light for the nation's development is the single star in the blue square.
