The long narrow strip of central America, known in its entirety to the Spanish as Guatemala, is among the earliest of colonial conquests on the mainland. Pedro de Alvarado, a leading member of Cortés' small party in the conquest of Mexico (1519-21), is sent south in 1523 to subdue the smaller area now known as Guatemala.
A series of repressive regimes followed, and by 1960, the country was plunged into a civil war between military governments, right-wing vigilante groups, and leftist rebels that would last 36 years, the longest civil war in Latin American history.
As a feature of the Federal Republic of Central America, Guatemala used a banner with flat groups of blue, white, and blue again from 1825 to 1851. After 1851, the Spanish national hues, red and yellow, were consolidated into the configuration until 1871, when the present banner was picked. The new banner separated itself by using vertical stripes and including the Guatemalan crest, which was embraced in 1868.
The national banner of Guatemala is partitioned into three vertical stripes. The left and right stripes are sky blue, and the center stripe is white. Focused on the white stripe is the nation's crest, which was received in 1968 and incorporates a shield with two crossed rifles and two brilliant swords attached to a shrub crown.
The banner of Guatemala highlights the national flying creature, the Resplendent Quetzal. Its hooks hold a look with the date of Central American independence from Spain, December 15, 1821. The sky blue groups on every side of the banner demonstrate Guatemala's area between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. White is the conventional shade of peace and stands for the respectable ideals of trustworthiness and concordance which are valued in Guatemala.
The Quetzal bird perched on the parchment stands for the autonomy and independence of Guatemala. The crossed rifles indicate the willingness to fight to defend the country against any foreign attack, the swords represent honor, and the laurel wreath symbolizes victory. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Guatemalan flag for the future.
