History of The Flag of El Salvador
The flag of El Salvador has undergone several iterations since the country's independence from Spain in 1821. The current design was adopted on May 27, 1912. The flag's colors and elements are inspired by the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America, reflecting El Salvador's history as part of the federation. The coat of arms was added to the flag to represent the republic's sovereignty and independence. Over the years, the flag has become a symbol of Salvadoran identity and pride.
