| Flag explanation: |
The flag of El Salvador was adopted on September 27, 1972. It is based on the flag of the United Provinces of Central America, inspired in the Argentine flag, and was initially adopted in 1822, abandoned in 1865, reinstated in 1912, and last confirmed in 1972.
The two blue stripes represent the oceans that bathe the Central American coasts: the Pacific and the Atlantic. The white stripe represents peace.
There are two versions of the flag, one containing the National Coat of Arms and the other the words "DIOS UNION LIBERTAD" (Spanish: God, Union, Liberty). The one bearing the Coat of Arms is used by the government or state organizations. The other version is used for civil purposes. Both flags have a 3:5 aspect ratio.
From 1865 to 1912, a different flag was in use, based on the flag of the United States, with a field of alternating blue and white stripes and a red canton containing white stars. |
