The flag The Cuban flag states that the blue stripes refer to the three old divisions of the island; and the two white stripes represent the strength of the independent ideal. The red triangle symbolizes equality, brotherhood, as well as the bloodshed in the island's struggle for independence. Finally, the white star is meant to symbolize freedom. It was Designed by Narciso López Coat of arms The shield is divided into three parts: In the chief, a key charging a blue sea between two rocks, symbolizing Cuba’s geographical position between Florida and the Yucatán Peninsula. A bright rising sun in the background symbolizes the rising of the new republic. The shield is supported by an oak branch on one side and a laurel wreath on the other. The oak branch symbolizes the strength of the nation; and the laurel wreath: honor and glory. These symbols were meant to represent the rights of man: Equality, Liberty and Fraternity. A liberty cap is located at the top, as a crown symbolizing liberty, with a sole star on it standing for independence.

Within a century the indigenous people were virtually wiped out due to multiple factors, In 1529, a measles outbreak in Cuba killed two-thirds of the natives who had previously survived smallpox. There were also lots of wars such as the independent war, the ten years war, the war of 1895 and the Spanish-American war.
