What does the star on the Cuban flag mean?

Answer 1

The official version of the meaning of the Cuban flag according to Cuba's government is that the blue stripes refer to the three old divisions of the island and that the two white stripes represent the strength of the independent ideal. They also state that the red triangle symbolizes equality, fraternity, and freedom, as well as the blood shed in the island's struggle for independence. Lastly, the white star symbolizes the absolute freedom among the Cuban people.

The real story is that the Cuban flag was created by Narcisco Lopez and put together by Emilia Teurbe Tolon in 1849. The design of the flag was suggested by the Cuban poet Miguel Teurbe Tolon.

His design incorporates three blue stripes that represent the sea that surrounds the island and two white stripes that symbolize the purity of the patriotic cause. The red triangle stands for the blood shed to free the nation and it symbolizes the sky turned red from the blood shed in battle. The white star in the red triangle stands for independence. Lopez carried this flag in battle in 1850 in Cardenas and although he was not victorious, this was the first instance of the flag being raised in Cuba.
