It wis adoptit on October 18, 1817. The Chilean banner is forby kent as (Spainyie) La Estrella Solitaria [1] (Inglis: The Lone Star).
The starn represents a guide tae progress an honour; blue seembolizes the sky an the Paceefic Ocean, white is for the snaw-covered Andes, an reid staunds for the bluid spilled tae achieve unthirldom.[2]
