Bendera Meksiko: Perbedaan antara revisi

'''Bendera [[Meksiko Serikat]]''' atau '''[[Meksiko]]''' diadopsi tanggal [[16 September]] [[1968]], namun desainnya telah ada sejak 1821. Bendera ini merupakan [[bendera triwarna]] vertikal [[hijau]], [[putih]], dan [[merah]] dengan [[Lambang Meksiko|lambang negara Meksiko]] di tengah-tengahnya. Bendera ini mirip dengan [[bendera Italia]], namun lebih dulu ada, dan mirip dengan [[bendera Hongaria]] dalam posisi horisontal.

France was the inspiration of those who detached Mexico from Spain in 1821, and they devised a new tricolor based on the flag of the liberation army. At that time the Italian tricolor was not in use. The flag now contains the coat of arms, in order to distinguish it from that of Italy. Red, white, and green are the colors of the national liberation army in Mexico. The central emblem is the Aztec pictogram for Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the center of their empire. It recalls the legend that inspired the Aztecs to settle on what was originally a lake-island. The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1968. Aztec legend held that they should found their city on the spot where they saw an eagle on a cactus, eating a snake. Ribbon in the national colors at are the bottom of the coat of arms. -->
