Flag of Gran Colombia

So, Gran Colombia was a big country a long time ago (back in the 1800s). They had a special flag that they used to show that they were part of this country. The flag had three stripes: yellow, blue, and red.

Yellow was the top stripe, blue was the middle stripe, and red was the bottom stripe.

These three colors were important because they represented different things.

Yellow meant that the people of Gran Colombia were rich and prosperous.

Blue meant that they were brave and strong.

Red meant that they were willing to fight and be strong in the face of danger.

So basically, the flag of Gran Colombia was a way for the people of that country to show who they were and what they stood for.
