Flag

While relatively unknown, there's a flag representing the countries of Hispanic America, its people, history and shared cultural legacy.
   It was created in October 1933 by Ángel Camblor, captain of the Uruguayan army. It was adopted by all the states of Spanish America during La Conferencia Panamericana (The Pan-American Conference) held that same year in Montevideo, Uruguay. The white background stands for peace, the Inti sun god in Inca mythology symbolizes the light shining on the American continent, and the three crosses represent Christopher Columbus' caravels, the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María used in his first voyage from Spain to the New World in 1492. The deep lilac color of the crosses evokes the color of the lion on the Coat of Arms of the medieval Kingdom of Castile: (External Link).
