Mexican Flag Colors, Meaning, and History
The Mexican War of Independence lasted from 1810 to 1821, during which time Mexico had no official flag. Mexico’s independence from the Spanish Empire was fiercely battled and hard-won, and its sovereignty as an independent nation was finally recognized in 1821 when the first national flag was adopted. The Mexican flag featured the green, white, and red tricolor, along with an early version of the coat of arms. The national coat of arms has undergone several modifications, with the last change occurring 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.
Italian Flag vs Mexican Flag
The Italian and Mexican national flags appear similar but differ in some aspects. Most notably, the Mexican flag has the national coat of arms in the center and has much darker shades of green and red than the Italian flag. The Mexican flag uses a size ratio of 4:7, while the Italian one uses 2:3.
