What is the history of Spain's flag?

Answer 1

In 1785 King Charles III realized that most of European countries used flags which were predominantly white, including Spain. That led to many confusions particularly at sea. So he ordered to make a new one flag which can be seen clearly from great distances. The red and yellow colors can be seen very well at sea, so they chose that one, also to distinguished from others tribanded flags, the yellow central band was twice the width of the red bands. On the yellow band appeared the coat of arms of the king and above of it the Real Crown.

This flag lasted until 1931, when Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed, the new regime changed the monarchist flag for a new one in which the second red band was turned into murray and the coat of arms was changed as well.

After Spanish Civil War, the flag returned to be bicolor, but the arms was changed again by the dictatorial regime, claimed to be inspire in Catholic Monarchs coat of arms and adding the Pillars of Hercules and the motto 'una, grande y libre' (ONE, GREAT and FREE).

This one lasted until 1978, and in 1981 Democratic Constitution changed the arms for the coat of arms of Spanish Kingdom including the House of Bourbon crest in the middle of it.
