Flag of Colombia / El Tricolor Nacional

The flag of Colombia has its origins in the early 19th century during the country's struggle for independence from Spain. Initially, it was based on the flag of the Gran Colombia, a republic that included present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. The flag's colors - yellow, blue, and red, were first used by revolutionary leader Francisco de Miranda, who designed them to represent the ideals of independence, liberty, and unity. Yellow symbolizes the country's wealth and resources, blue stands for the oceans and rivers, and red represents the bloodshed in the fight for freedom. Colombia's flag was officially adopted in 1863, after the dissolution of Gran Colombia, and has remained the same since then, embodying the nation's history, struggles, and aspirations.
