- In the middle of the triangle lies a white five-pointed star, which symbolizes the absolute freedom among the Cuban people.
Interesting facts: In the mid 1800's many people wanted to liberate Cuba from Spain, and unite the island with the United States of America. This could be the reason why the colors of the Cuban flag patch are red, white and blue, with stripes and a star. After the United States seized Cuba from Spain during the Spanish-American War, the American Stars and Stripes flag flew from Jan. 1, 1899 until May 20, 1902 (source: worldflags101).
