History and Evolution of the Brazil Flag

The Brazil flag, known as the "Auriverde" ("The Gold and Green"), was officially adopted on November 19, 1889, following the establishment of the Republic of Brazil. The design replaced the previous imperial flag and reflected a shift towards republican ideals.

Key milestones include:

  • 1889: Original adoption of the current design.
  • 1960: Addition of new stars to represent new states.
  • 1992: Update to include 27 stars, representing all federal units.

Fun Fact: The arrangement of stars on the flag replicates the night sky over Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, the day Brazil became a republic.
