What is Flag of Haiti?
{{no sources|date=December 2019}} [[File:Flag of Haiti.svg|thumb|right|250px|[[File:FIAV 011011.svg|23px]] Flag ratio: 3:5]] The '''[[flag]] of [[Haiti]]''' was adopted on [[February 25]], [[1986]]. The flag has two [[horizontal]] bands of equal [[height]]; the top stripe is [[blue]] and the bottom is [[red]]. In the center there is a [[white]] [[rectangle]] with the [[Coat of Arms of Haiti]] which consists of a [[palm tree]] with several flags at its sides. There are two [[Artillery|cannons]] on either side of the palm tree. The civil flag and the [[flag|ensign]] (the one used by commercial ships) do not have a coat of arms. The Haitian flag was created by the revolutionary [[Jean-Jacques Dessalines]] in 1803 from the [[France|French]] flag (the ''Tricolore''); he eliminated the white stripe and left only the blue and red stripes in the new flag. From [[May 25]] [[1964]] to [[February 25]] [[1986]], during the [[dictator]]ship of [[François Duvalier|Francois]] and [[Jean-Claude Duvalier]], the country had a different flag, in red and black, and divided vertically, not horizontally. == Other websites == * The Louverture Project: [http://thelouvertureproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Flag_of_Haiti Flag of Haiti]{{dead link|date=December 2019}} [[Category:National flags|Haiti, Flag of]] [[Category:National symbols of Haiti]] [[Category:Flags with coats of arms]]
