The flags of the world, may it be national or during times of territorial challenges is a haven of lore and stories by those who were involved in it. Among these, the Alamo flag is one without no plausible stories of gallantry, bravery, honor, and even controversies. The flag of green, white, and red much like that of Mexico’s national flag has been a part of textbooks and historical accounts. Nevertheless, the Alamo flag is indeed without a doubt a historical emblem worth honoring by knowing about its roots.
The Mexican flag, otherwise known as the Bandera de Mexico or the Spanish banner also bears a striking resemblance of having a tricolor scheme. The flag, being divided into three parts with vertical partitions is also similar to the Italian flag. The green color occupies the left side, while the red color occupies the right. The white is found in the middle third, with the emblem of the coat of arms of Mexico in the middle as well.
Mexico was a former colony of the Spanish Empire during the age of exploration, in which the natives progressively sought for freedom and independence from the colonists. The Mexican flag was a conceptual design taken from the similarity of Spanish and Italian national flags, but with the coat of arms as a symbol of bravery and fight for freedom. The Alamo flag on the other hand is similar but with the center emblem replaced instead with the word “1824” It was first used in 1821, and has been approved by the Texan Government to be used as a battle flag during that fight in the historical landmark The Alamo.
