The Mexican Flag Colors, Meaning, and History

The Mexican War of Independence was fought from 1810-1821, and Mexico had no official flag for those eleven years. Mexico’s independence from the Spanish Empire was fiercely battled and hard-won, and their sovereignty as an independent nation was finally recognized in 1821 when the first national flag was adopted. This design had the green, white, and red tricolor and an early version of the coat of arms. The national coat of arms has been modified several times, with the last change on September 16, 1968.

The green, white, and red stripes are traditional colors of the Mexican army, first used by Mexican and Spanish insurgent troops during the War of Independence. The coat of arms on Mexico’s flag is based on an ancient Aztec legend in which the god Huitzilopochtli told the people to settle wherever they saw a specific sign: an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, eating a snake. This led to the founding of the city of Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City.

The Mexican flag is seen by millions each day, waving proudly at government buildings in the bustling capital of Mexico City and decorating cars and trucks on highways stretching internationally from Tijuana to Houston. The Mexican coat of arms in the center is a constant reminder of the country’s origins, stretching back to the ancient Aztec empire.

Italian Flag vs Mexican Flag

Italian and Mexican flags appear similar but do differ in some aspects. Most notably, the Mexican flag has the national coat of arms in the center, but it also has much darker shades of green and red than the Italian flag. Additionally, the Mexican flag uses a size ratio of 4:7, while the Italian one is 2:3.
