The first national flag of Peru was created in 1820 when José de San MartÃn arrived with his Army of the Andes from Argentina and Chile. The Peruvian flag he designed combined the colors red and white, said to have been chosen because San MartÃn saw a flock of flamingos takes wing at his arrival.
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.
The Peruvian flag was adopted on February 25, 1825, making it one of the world's oldest flags. Peru gained independence from Spain on July 28, 1821, and a red and white flag diagonally divided into four sections was adopted. The Peruvian flag was modified to a red-white-red horizontal design in 1822 and it was adopted in 1825.
The flag of Peru consists of three equal sized vertical stripes - the left and right stripes are red and the middle one is white. Peru also has a state flag which incorporates the shield from the national coat of arms in the middle of the flag.
Today’s flag of Peru has three principal variants, all of which are shown and explained in the following three pages. The only difference between the flags is the inclusion or not of a coat of arms, depending on usage. Peruvian laws regarding the national flag do not define exact color tones for the red and white bands.
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.
