Colombia's Flag
The flag's history started when Símon Boliver fought for the independence of Colombia. That same year in December, they adopted the national Colombian flag. The original flag was tricolored Yellow, Blue, and Red. The colors came from the main colors Gran Colombia banner. People also think the colors are for the color of gold in Colombian land, Blue for the sea on the Colombian shore, and red for the blood showing the freedom that they won after fighting. The strips in 1834 were horizontal and were changed to vertical. Afterward, that happening the coat of arms appeared on the flag for official purposes, but people don’t exactly know. The government, on December 10th, 1861, made it go back to horizontal. With that happening, it made the Yellow strip 2 times thicker. They kept it bland because it helped with the identification of the diplomatic service, navy ships, and more reasons.
