Brazil is a vast country in South America that
stretches from the Amazon Basin in the north to
vineyards and the massive Iguazu Falls in the
south. Rio de Janeiro, symbolized by its 38-meter
statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado hill,
is famous for its busy Copacabana and Ipanema
beaches, along with its huge and raucous Carnival
festival, which features floats, lush costumes and
dance. and samba music.
So, Brazil's flag is pretty cool. But where did it
come from? For that, we have to go all the way back
to 1822. Brazil declared its independence from
Portugal, and immediately established itself as
the Empire of Brazil. The empire's first flag was
designed with a green field and yellow rhombus to
signify the colors of Emperor Pedro I and Empress
Maria Leopoldina, who came from different royal
houses. In the middle of the banner was the royal
crest of the empire, based partly on the symbol of
Brazil under the Portuguese Empire.
