Country's flag


The Brazilian flag was made in November of 1889, year in which the country became a Republic. The responsibles for the creation were a teacher, Raimundo Teixeira, and a painter, Decio Vilares. The important issue is the colors, which are yellow, green, blue, and white. Yellow and green represented the Real Family, from Portugal, but later all, these colors change the main, the first become mean gold, and the second mean forest. The color blue represents the sky and the white represents peace. Moreover, there are twenty six stars in the middle of the flag, which means the country’ states. This flag is one of the few that does not have red or black, which represents war and blood. Finally, there are tree words, “Ordem e Progresso”, with the stars that means “Order and Progress”.

  1. I always liked the Brazilian Flag. I'm glad I know what the symbolism is. It's interesting what you said about the Red and Black. Was their a war to gain freedom in Brazil?
