Significado de la Bandera

The national flag of the Netherlands (Dutch: de Nederlandse vlag) is a horizontal tricolour of red, white, and blue. The current design originates as a variant of the late 16th century orange-white-blue Prinsenvlag ("Prince's Flag"), evolving in the early 17th century as the red-white-blue Statenvlag ("States Flag"), the naval flag of the States-General of the Dutch Republic, making the Dutch flag the oldest tricolour flag in continuous use. In addition to sun, gold, and abundance, the yellow is also said to represent wanglo flowers. They also represent the four main languages of Aruba: Papiamento, Spanish, English, and Dutch. The two stars represent Curaçao and Klein Curaçao, but also 'Love & Happiness'.
