South America is a continent of just 12 sovereign nations, but its flags carry some of the most distinctive and historically charged designs in the world. The bold yellow, blue, and red of the Gran Colombia colors — designed by independence leader Francisco de Miranda in 1806 — still flies over Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, three countries that emerged from a single short-lived republic.
Further south, the Sun of May — a radiant golden face commemorating the May Revolution of 1810 — appears on the flags of Argentina and Uruguay, symbols of liberation from the Spanish Empire. Brazil's green and yellow banner, with its starry blue celestial sphere reading *Ordem e Progresso*, depicts the night sky over Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, the day the country became a republic.
From Suriname's unique star and stripes to Paraguay's distinct double-sided design (one of only three in the world), every South American flag is a piece of revolutionary history. How many can you recognize on sight?
