On July 28, 1821, the great South American liberator José de San MartÃn proclaimed the independence of Peru from Spanish colonial rule. At the time, the fledgling Republic of Peru was flying a flag introduced by San MartÃn in October 1820. The flag was quartered diagonally to form four triangles, with the upper and lower sections colored white and the lateral sections colored red. The flag featured a crest at its center depicting an Inti-style sun rising up behind three snow-capped mountains.
Peru emerged from 20 years of dictatorship in 1945 with the inauguration of President José Luis Bustamente y Rivero after the first free election in many decades. But he served for only three years and was succeeded in turn by Gen. Manuel A. Odria, Manuel Prado y Ugarteche, and Fernando Belaúnde Terry.
On February 25, 1825, the design now in use was established. The red-white-red vertical stripes from the previous flag were retained, but the sun was replaced by a new coat of arms. Its shield is framed by one wreath (of palm and laurel branches) and surmounted by another.
Another great liberator, Simón BolÃvar, introduced a fourth and final design (as used today) on February 25, 1825. This flag used the same vertical triband design as introduced by José Bernardo de Tagle, but with the Peruvian coat of arms replacing the central sun.
The red stripes represent the blood shed for Peruvian freedom; while the white stands for peace. The flag of Peru was designed by José de San MartÃn, who hailed from Argentina. San Martin was a general and the prime leader of southern South America's successful fight for independence from Spain. Together with Simón BolÃvar from the north, San MartÃn is regarded as one of the liberators of Spanish South America. He is a national hero of Argentina.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Peru flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Peru future.
