Bolivia Flag
The flag of Bolivia is a horizontal tricolor of red, yellow, and green with the Bolivian coat of arms in the center. The flag was originally adopted in 1851 and has remained unchanged since then.
According to one source, the colors of the flag have specific meanings. The red stands for Bolivia's brave soldiers, while the green symbolizes fertility and the yellow represents the nation's mineral deposits. These colors and their meanings are closely tied to Bolivia's history and cultural traditions.
In addition to the state and war flag, Bolivia also has a naval ensign that is used by navy vessels on rivers and lakes. This ensign consists of a blue field with the state flag in the canton, bordered by nine small yellow five-pointed stars and a larger yellow five-pointed star in the fly. The nine small stars represent the nine departments of Bolivia, and the larger star represents the nation's right to access the sea, which it lost in the War of the Pacific in 1884.
Since 2009, the Wiphala, a traditional Andean symbol, has also held the status of dual flag in Bolivia. According to the revised Constitution of Bolivia, the Wiphala is considered a national symbol of the country, along with the flag, national anthem, coat of arms, and other cultural symbols.
