Flag of Portugal
• The flag of the Portuguese Republic is a 2:3 green and red rectangle divided vertically into green at the hoist (2/5 of the flag’s length) and red at the fly (3/5). Centered in this partition a coat of arms consisting of an armillary sphere charged with the traditional Portuguese shield. It was officially adopted on June 30, 1911, but had in fact been in use since the Republican revolution of 5 October 1910.
• The flag probably has a much more ambiguous meaning than the traditional, most popular explanations for its design. The most commonly held belief is that during the Estado Novo, the nationalist authoritarian regime, which lasted from 1933 until the 1974 Carnation Revolution, claims that the green represented hope and the red represented the blood of those who died serving the nation. This definition of the colors is currently the commonly accepted one, however the original meaning could be much more uncertain.
• Some other theories claim that red represents the sunrise and sunset over the Portuguese ships during the Age of Exploration in the 16th century and the green represents the color of the oceans which were sailed by the great Portuguese navigators. Other less nationalists theories allege that the green and red are the traditional colors of Iberic Federalism, a Republican-Socialist ideology very common at the beginning of the 20th century and which defended the political union of Portugal and Spain.
• Other theory claims that the red means the blood spilled in the battles against the Moors of the 12th to 15th century and the green stands for the green fields where those battles were fought.
