Flag of Mauritius

History of the Flag of Mauritius

For the first time in the history of the country, it declared its full independence from the UK on 12 March 1968. Since this date, it has used its flag through the official status. Before the country declared its full independence, there was also the symbol of England on the flag. But with independence, this symbol was removed. Mauritius still has the English language. Most of the people living in the country use this language.

Mauritius Flag Meaning

The flag of the country consists of 4 equal horizontal stripes of red, blue, yellow and green colour tones. The red stripe symbolises the full independence of the country and the blood of the soldiers who lost their lives during the national struggle. The blue colour symbolises the Indian Ocean surrounding the island. Mauritius is directly surrounded by this huge ocean. The yellow shade symbolises that the country has a bright future and the green shade, as expected, symbolises the land and its fertility.
