Cuba Flag Meaning & History
Cuba’s flag was designed in 1849 by Narciso López and Miguel Teurbe Tolón, with the original sewn by Tolón’s wife, Emilia. It was first flown in the town of Cárdenas in 1850 and was officially adopted in 1902 when Cuba achieved independence from the Spanish Empire.
The three blue stripes on the Cuban flag each stood for a national regulatory department at the time of the flag’s creation, and the white represents purity. The red triangle symbolizes strength and quality, and the white star stands for independence.
Cuban Flag vs Puerto Rican Flag
The Puerto Rican flag has an almost identical design to the Cuban one, except that the colors of the blue stripes and red triangle are swapped. Puerto Rico’s flag is intentionally based on Cuba’s. During the fight against the Spanish Empire, the people of Puerto Rico and Cuba united in their missions for independence. Thus, in 1895, the Revolutionary Committee of Puerto Rico adopted a variation of Cuba’s flag to represent their shared vision.
