Written by Francis Scott Key after witnessing British bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812The Star Spangled Banner."The Star-Spangled Banner" is the National Anthem of USA.That very much depends upon whom you are. The states of most nations have chosen "national" anthems.The oldest such anthem is probably that of the Netherlands, "Het Wilhelmus", written about 1570.Spain still has no "national" anthem.The lyrics to the United States "national" anthem are taken from a poem by Francis Scott Key originally called "The Defense of Fort McHenry", sometimes called "The Siege of Fort McHenry", but the anthem itself is named "The Star-Spangled Banner". The tune is slightly modified from an English composition, "The Anacreontic Song". (For a while, Luxembourg used pretty much the same difficult tune for their anthem, but they abandoned it long before it became the official anthem of the United States.)
The flag of the Republic Cuba consists of a red triangle, one white star, and five stripes. The stripes run horizontally. There are three blue stripes and two white stripes.
