The flag of Chile is an iconic symbol featuring two equal-height horizontal bands of white and red, with a blue square in the canton that contains a single centered white star. This design is also known as 'La Estrella Solitaria' or The Lone Star. Adopted on October 18, 1817, this flag holds significant historical and cultural meaning for Chile. The star represents Venus, symbolizing progress and honor for the indigenous Mapuches, while blue stands for the sky and Pacific Ocean, white symbolizes the snow-covered Andes, and red signifies the blood spilled during the fight for independence. According to La Araucana, the flag's colors were inspired by those flown by the Mapuche during the Arauco War.
