The Flag Company Inc And Bolivian Flag History Today

By Sara Smith


Bolivian history can be divided into four major periods or eras: Ancient History, the Colonial Era, the Post-Colonial Era, and Recent History. Bolivia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in South America, with over 30 native indigenous groups, a large mestizo population, and a growing foreign immigrant population, all of whom have contributed to shaping Bolivian culture.

The Republic of Bolivia (now called the Plurinational State of Bolivia) and its struggle to maintain social cohesion, political and economic stability, and development efforts being made through the present. The banners of Bolivia didn't generally appear as they do today. On the seventeenth of August, 1825, only eleven days after Bolivia proclaimed its freedom from Spain, the principal Bolivian banner and coat of arms were made.

Its stripes were green-red-green, with the red stripe being slightly wider than the other two. Five stars were sewn onto the wider red stripe, that represents the five provinces the country had at the time: La Paz, Potosí, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, and Santa Cruz.

This version was modified on the 26th of July, 1826 when Congress changed the color of the upper green stripe to yellow making it yellow-red-green. The 5 stars on the red stripe were replaced by a national coat of arms.

Like every country's banner has a reason or importance credited to the hues as well as insignias, the Bolivian Flag has its own significance. The red stripe on top of the Bolivian banner is illustrative of the Bolivian trooper's fortitude with regards to their nation. Yellow stands for the rich mineral assets of the nation. Green symbolizes the fruitfulness of their land.

On November 6, 1851, President Manuel Belzu just reset the hues to mirror the request of the hues found in the kantuta and the patuju, the two Bolivian National Flowers: red-yellow-green. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development of Bolivia by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
