History of Samoa Flag

King Tamasese, favoring the Germans who stayed the area, later adapted the national flag by insertion a black cross on upper of the white one, giving the German red-white-black colors to Samoa. That flag was in usage from 1886 to 1889, but it finished to be used after the death of Tamasese. The United States and Germany alienated the islands in 1900 and recognized separate colonies where local flags were not fortified.

In the early 20th century the former German territory was managed by New Zealand. A native flag for these islands was advanced that imitated the New Zealand flag in its red-white-blue colors, Southern Cross constellation. The new Samoan flag had a fifth star was added on May 26, 1948. The Southern Cross has been a general flag emblem in other nations in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Samoan flag, white stands for purity, blue for freedom, and red for bravery. No change was made in the national flag once the country became sovereign on January 1, 1962.
