Significado de la Bandera

The national flag of Benin (French: drapeau du Bénin) is a flag consisting of two horizontal yellow and red bands on the fly side and a green vertical band at the hoist. Adopted in 1959 to replace the French Tricolour, it was the flag of the Republic of Dahomey until 1975, when the People's Republic of Benin was established. This honours the oldest independent country in Africa and the only nation other than Liberia to remain independent during the Scramble for Africa.
