Cuba Flag Dark Blue

Illustration of a flag with blue and white stripes and a red triangle with a white star on a dark blue background

The Cuban flag pictured was created by Narciso Lopez, an anti-Spanish Cuban exile, and the poet Miguel Teurbe Tolon in the fight for Cuban independence and sovereignty. The three blue stripes symbolize the three districts Cuba was divided into in the 1800s and the two white stripes symbolize the purity of Cuban patriot ideals. The red triangle symbolizes strength, constancy, and equality. The white star symbolizes Cuban independence and freedom.
