Artist's Comments

Adopted October 18, 1817

The flag was designed by an American, Charles Wood, who fought for Chilean independence as an officer in the army of General Jose de San Martin.
The design is clearly influenced by the Stars and Stripes.   The white star is the guiding star on the path of progress and honor.  The blue stands for the sky; the white symbolizes the snow of the Andes, and the red stands for all blood shed in the the struggle for independence.

interesting story.
And I thought this Bernardo O'higgins was the war hero?
As for the red part of the flag, it wouldn't be there if it hadn't been for those darn spaniards.
