Flag of Cuba / Cuban Flag - Description & History
Five horizontal stripes, blue-white-blue-white-blue, with a red trangle at the hoist with a white 5 pointed star within the triangle.

The flag of Cuba was created in 1848 or 1849, depending on sources, by a Venezuelan living in the United States, General Narciso López, who had joined the Cuban fight for independence from Spain. The flag first flew in the city of Cárdenas on May 19, 1850, but it was another 53 years, 1902, when Cuba became independant from Spain, and theCuban national flag was officially adopted.

Three blue stripes represent the three original provinces of the Cuban Island at the time. The red triangle represents equality, fraternity and freedom and also the blood of the independence fighters. The lone white star reperesents freedom. It is speculated that the red, white & blue motif with the lone star also referred to the Stars & Stripes, as many Cubans wanted to become part of the USA at that time.
