All the FLAGS of AMERICA: South, North and Center

Possibly the most relevant symbol for the States they are the flags, being elements used to represent everything that is a nation and that is used to show the unity of a nation. The situation of the American States, most of them being nations that were born from independence against the European metropolis, makes them have great relevance and, therefore, in this lesson from a PROFESSOR we are going to talk about the american flags.

To begin the lesson on the flags of America we must comment on the flags of the North American countries and the flags of the Central American countries. An interesting fact about these flags is that all of them belong to Central America have a similar origin, since the flag of the Provinces of the Río de Plata served as inspiration for most states in this area, this being the reason why most Central American flags have part of their shape similar to the flag of Rio de the Silver.

Next we must talk about the flags of these two areas of America, placing the left the name of the state and on the right making a kind of description of the way that has.

The flags of North and Central America are as follows:

• Canada: Red maple leaf on a white background with two red lines on the sides.
• USA: Thirteen horizontal lines of red and white colors, in one corner 50 white stars on a blue background.
• Mexico: Three vertical green, white and red lines with the country's coat of arms in the center.
• Belize: Blue background with two small red lines above and below and the shield of Belize in the center.
• Costa Rica: Five horizontal stripes, two blue at the ends, two white, and one red twice the size of the rest.
• The Savior: Two dark blue stripes and a white stripe in the center, the shield being located in the center.
• Guatemala: Two vertical lines in light blue and one in the center in white, the shield being in the center.
• Honduras: Three horizontal stripes, two blue and one white, and five stars in the center.
• Nicaragua: Three horizontal stripes, two blue and one white, in the center the shield of the country.
• Panama: Divided into four squares, one white background with a red star, another white background with a blue star, another red and the last blue.

To continue with this lesson on the flags of America we must talk about these symbols in the South American countries. The flags of this subcontinent are usually closely linked to the symbolism born during the Latin American independence in which these regions were separated from their European metropolises, so many of them are very similar to each other.

Examples of these similarities are the States that were part of Greater Colombia, the regions called Guayanas north of the continent, or some nations that at points in their history were part of the same administrative identity as Argentina and Uruguay.

The flags of the sovereign states of South America and its description currently are as follows:

• Colombia: Influenced by Gran Colombia, the flag of this country consists of three horizontal lines, the colors being yellow, blue and red.
• Ecuador: Also influenced by Gran Colombia, the flag has three horizontal lines, the colors being yellow, blue and red, and the country's coat of arms being above it.
• Venezuela: Same as the previous two, with three horizontal yellow, blue and red lines, but with eight stars forming an arc in their center.
• Guyana: Red triangle on yellow triangle and both on green background.
• French Guyana: Half yellow and half green background and in the center a red star.
• Surinam: 5 horizontal lines, two green, two white and one red, with a yellow star above the red one.
• Brazil: Green background, yellow rhombus and on this the sky symbol of Rio de Janeiro.
• Peru: Three vertical lines, two red and the central one white.
• chili: Two horizontal stripes, the first white and blue with a star in the left corner, the second completely red.
• Argentina: Three horizontal lines, two blue and the one with the white center, in the center of the flag a Sun of May.
• Paraguay: Three horizontal lines, the first red, the central white and the third blue, having a shield in its center.
• Uruguay: Numerous blue and white lines, with a Sun of May in the upper left corner.
• Bolivia: Three horizontal lines, the first being red, the central yellow and the bottom green.

Before concluding this lesson of such relevance we must talk about the flags of the most relevant dependencies that we find in the American zone. Dependencies are regions that they do not have their own autonomya, depending in part on another State. The main flags of the American dependencies are the following:

• Bermuda: Red background with the British flag in one corner and the Bermuda crest on the other side.
• Greenland: Two white and red horizontal stripes and a circle of the same colors.
• Clipperton Island: The same flag as the French one.
• Saint Pierre and Miquelon: On the right a blue background with a ship, on the left the flags of the Basque Country, Normandy and Brittany.
• Falklands: Blue background with the country's coat of arms and British flag.
• South Georgia and South Sandwich: Blue background with the British flag and the state coat of arms.
