In designing the flag of Puerto Rico, Francisco Gonzalo Marin used Cuba's flag for inspiration.

Instead of Cuba's blue and white stripes, with a red triangle, Gonzalo Marin opted for red and white stripes, with a blue triangle. The white star is a symbol of the nation, and the triangle represents the three different parts of the ruling power: government, parliament and court. Red is a symbol of blood, white is the color of victory and peace, and the blue color is a classic symbol of the sky and the sea. The flag was adopted in 1894.
