For much of its early colonial history, when it is known as the Banda Oriental ('east bank' of the Uruguay river), the region of Uruguay functions mainly as an unsettled buffer zone between hostile neighbors - the Portuguese to the north in Brazil, the Spanish to the west and south in Argentina.
As part of the United Provinces of the RÃo de la Plata (formed in 1816), the Banda Orientalâ€"which would eventually become the country known as Uruguayâ€"was originally under the blue-white-blue horizontally striped flag raised by General Manuel Belgrano in 1812.
The flag of Uruguay was designed using the colors of its neighbor and a fellow former colony of Spain, Argentina, and bears resemblance to the flag of the United States. The flag's design is attributed to Joaquin Suarez, who was the first Head of State of the new nation, and later became president. A version of the flag was adopted in December 1828, but the final version of the flag was officially adopted July 11, 1830.
When it finally obtained recognition from both Argentina and Brazil as an independent country, the new republic of Uruguay adopted a definitive national flag on December 16, 1828. Designed by JoaquÃn Suárez, it effectively combined a symbol of Argentina with the flag pattern of the United States: on a white background were nine blue horizontal stripes for the nine original departments of the republic.
Its name refers to the May Revolution of 1810, in which Spanish American colonies began their revolt against Spain and eventually gained independence. The sun is meant to represent the legendary and symbolic moment when the sun broke through the clouds on May 25, 1810, accepted as a good omen for the budding nations. The Sun of May on the flag of Uruguay has alternating straight and wavy beams, each divided down the center with a black line. The nine stripes on the Uruguayan flag represent the nine departments of Uruguay at the time the First Constitution of Uruguay was signed in 1830.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Uruguay 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 Uruguay future.
