How Brazil Adopted It's
Flag of Green and Yellow

The story of the Brazilian flag is
rich in tradition. In it's design, homage
is paid to the historical heritage of the
nation: To Portugal, the mother coun-
try; to the daring Portuguese naviga-
tors Of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth CEN
turies, one of whom discovered Brazil
in the year 1900; to the proclamation
Of independence In 1922, and to the
founders of the republic, which was
established in 1889. The flag also SYM
boliZes the richness Of Brazil, and its
brilliant future, observes writer in
the Washington Post
In 1494, two years after the first
voyage Of Columbus, Portugal and
Spain signed at Tordesillas, Span
ish city, treaty in which the limits
were set for the operations Of each
of the two nations in the New World.
A Portuguese standard which appears
in one of the maps drawn at that
time has five blue spheres in field
Of white. These colors are remem-
bered and honored in the Brazilian flag
and coat of arms.
The Brazilian national colors are
green and yellow. The flag consists
of a green rectangle (twice as long
as it is wide) whose center is occupied
by rhombus, or diamondshaped fig
ure, yellow in color. The green rep
resents the vegetable kingdom and the
yellow the mineral. Within the dia-
mond-shaped figure is found blue
sphere, with an idealized representa-
tion of the heavens at the capital of
Brazil when the constellation of the
Southern Cross is at the meridian.
Besides the five white stars of this
constellation, there are 16 others, the
whole representing the 20 states of the
Brazilian Federal Union and the city
of Rio de JaneirO.
