The Federal Republic of Central America flag was used in Guatemala until 1851, when a pro-Spanish faction took over and added the Spanish colors of red and yellow to the flag. The original colors were restored on 17 August 1871, but as vertical (rather than horizontal) stripes in order to distinguish it from other flags and with a new coat of arms.
According to the Collins English Dictionary, a national flag is "a flag that represents or is an emblem of a country." [1] The word country can be used to refer to a sovereign state, sometimes also called an independent state. [2] It is customary in international law that states adopt a flag to distinguish themselves from other states. [3]
The current flag design often evolved over the years (e.g. the flag of the United States) or can be a re-adoption of an earlier, historic flag (e.g. the flag of Libya). The year the current flag design first came into use is listed in the third column.

[1] All tricolour flags are tribands, but not all tribands are tricolour flags, which requires three unique colours.
