Flags of the World - Chile

December 08, 2021

The flag of Chile, known as La Estrella Solitaria (the Lone Star) was adopted in 1817. The star represents Venus significant to the country's indigenous Mapuches symbolizing a guide to progress and honor while other interpretations say it refers to an independent state; blue symbolizes the sky and the Pacific Ocean, white is for the snow-covered Andes, and red stands for the blood spilled to achieve independence.

Thanks so much Carissa!
